This is GREAT! WOW! This kind of action usually happens after the 5th or 6th batch. Incredible.

Here’s a breakdown of how to keep your starter alive and ready for baking when you desire.

Process Overview:

Use 1 cup of starter for baking.

Put 1/4 jar back in the fridge, with the lid on, for storage.

When ready to bake again, take out the starter from the fridge, let it warm to room temperature, and then feed it.

Let the starter sit overnight to become active, then take out 1 cup for baking and repeat the process.

Things to Keep in Mind:

The starter will stay alive and healthy in the fridge as long as you feed it regularly. Since you’re leaving about 1/4 jar, it still has enough to remain active.

Feeding it when you take it out of the fridge is important. After it’s been stored in the fridge, it’s a bit sluggish, so warming it up, feeding it, and allowing it to sit for a while gives it time to wake up and regain strength.

Frequency of baking: You can keep this up indefinitely as long as you regularly feed your starter. If you bake often (every few days), the starter will need to be fed more regularly. If you bake less frequently, you can stretch the feedings out and maybe even get away with a couple of days between feedings.
