Hi CJ! Storing sourdough in the fridge is definitely convenient, but it does take time for starters to bounce back after they've been in the fridge. If the starter has been in the fridge for a week, it usually takes at least two if not three feedings to have it back in business. One thing that can help it perk back up faster is to do one of those feedings with either whole wheat or rye flour. Sourdough starters love the nutrients those flours give and it usually wakes them up within a few hours. We hope this helps! Annabelle@KAF
