We've found that freezing isn't the best way to put a starter on hold, so to speak. It ends up killing most of the yeast and bacteria cultures, so essentially you just end up beginning a new starter from scratch when you try to revive the old culture. You might want to try drying your starter using this technique here. It tends to work better than freezing, so we encourage you to give it a try. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
