Thank you for the great information & recipes on sourdough. I have just started in this adventure. My question of the day: I take my starter out of the fridge (has been there for 5 days) to re-activate prior to baking. Your instructions above say to give it a couple of feedings 12 hours apart. When feeding to re-activate prior to baking - do I toss out half of the starter with each feeding? I have done 2 feedings, 12 hours apart, (without splitting off any) and my starter has filled an eight cup bowl! Thanks for the help! PS. We LOVE the sourdough pop over recipe! You would need to remove about half of the starter with each feeding to prevent having too much starter as well as keeping a good pH level for the yeast!-Jon
