Kim, you can use starter straight from the fridge if all you want is some sour flavor in your bread; but if you want the starter to add rising power (i.e., your recipe includes little or no added yeast), then you need to feed it before using. And yes, you do need to feed the starter you just made before using and storing in the fridge; unless, as I said, all you need is its flavor, without its rising power. Contact our baker's hotline, 855-371-BAKE (2253), if you need any help at all, OK? Good luck - PJH
