I have a great active sourdough starter going that I started with 1 cup water 1 cup flour and every day discarded a half cup and fed it half cup water and 1 cup flour. Can I reduce the amount of flour and water I feed it now and continue to maintain it? I have plenty to bake with and I use the discard often, but I am going thru wayyyyy too much flour feeding it 1 full cup everyday. Can I reduce the amounts by half to discard 1/4 cup and feed it 1/4 water and 1/2 cup flour? Can I reduce it more than that and maintain my starter?
