I'm giving my college-bound son some dehydrated starter - any tips on how to make a small batch of rehydrated starter rather than starting with an ounce of flakes and 2 ounces of water and feeding it to build up as in your "Putting your start on hold" post? I'm not sure how much discard he would end up with. Would it be worthwhile to start with half an ounce of flakes and 1 ounce of water, then feed half as much described so there is less discard? Or should he plan on rehydrating the full ounce of flakes and baking with the discard that first weekend, then saving a tablespoon of starter to maintain using this method?
