I am at the same point as Holly R and I just have one more question. If I feed the discard to use in a recipe because the recipe calls for more starter than I'm discarding do I need to let the fed discard sit at room temp for a certain amount of time or will it be ready to use right after I've fed it? One more question, well two :) Does the starter container ever need to be cleaned? And I understand that 4 oz of started needs to be kept in a container in fridge but do I need to actually measure exactly 4 oz to be left in the crock (waiting on my ordered King Arthur crock)? Or can I just leave what is left in the crock and fed it. Not worrying if it's exactly 4 oz. Thank you so much! All this Q&A is so helpful! - Emily
