It sounds like you're keeping your starter at room temperature and feeding/baking with it daily. The typical fed starter that was fed 4 - 12 hours ago can be used in recipes that call for fed starter. Once the starter is in the refrigerator, consider it napping and you'll need to wake it up or feed it, then wait 4 - 12 hours, before using it to bake a recipe calling for fed starter. Happy baking!
