Hi Bonnie, the fridge always slows down the activity of your starter. If it's still in the early stages, we recommend leaving it at room temperature (for at least five days) to ensure it builds up a healthy foundation of wild yeast and friendly bacteria. Once you pass this stage, you can store it in the fridge between feedings. You can take it out of the fridge, discard, add fresh flour and water, and then let it rest at room temperature for 4-6 hours (at least) if possible before putting it back in the fridge. This will help the starter "digest" its recent feeding before being put back to sleep. Kye@KAF
