My stiff starter (my liquid too, for that matter) will easily triple in four hours, and even at that point won't always be showing signs of collapsing. Should I go ahead and use or refeed after 4 hours, or should I try to slow it down by refrigerating it so that I get the full 8 hours of fermentation in? (And as a related question, is this level of vigor/activity a disadvantage for flavor or anything else? I generally get a pretty good rise, but I'd love more tanginess.)
