@brynn_ann: How to Store Your Sourdough Starter in the Fridge 🫙 STORING - Feed your starter with your usual ratio (use a little less water than normal for a thicker starter). - Let it sit at room temp for 1 hour after feeding. - Seal the jar airtight and place it in the fridge. 🍞 WHEN YOU WANT TO BAKE - Take the starter out of the fridge and remove the lid. - Let it come to room temp on the counter. * If it peaks within 6–8 hours, you can bake right away. - Feed using your typical feeding ratio 📌 IMPORTANT NOTES - Take your starter out at least once a week to feed it. - If it seems sluggish, give it a few consistent feedings to rebuild strength. - Dark hooch = pour it off. - Light hooch = stir it in. #sourdoughstarter #sourdough #sourdoughbaking #sourdoughbread #sourdoughtok
I'm still trying to get my sourdough starter active but loving the education while I wait

I think I’m forever going to be stuck in my “watching sourdough videos” era rather than attempt to start one😩

If you plan to bake that day for example.. would I take starter out, wait til peaks at room temp, feed and then bake? Or do I bake and then feed it? So confused! lol

So if I have a new starter and I start feeding it and on day 3 where it says to discard half of it. I want to know if this discard is useable or do I just throw it away?

So I shouldn’t store my starter I. The fridge at peak-just an hour after feeding?

I’ve been working on mine for 2 weeks and it still has barley looked active, but I want to do the fridge method

Ok so if I want to bake and mine has risen from the fridge without a feeding within 6-8 hours, do I take my 100g for the bread recipe out from there and mix? Or do I still need to feed it after the 6-8 hours of it warming up before mixing

wallflower :
can I put my starter that peaked and started falling in the fridge if I don't want to use it yet or do I have to feed it and then put it in the fridge?

Not me having a daily question for you 😭 this is my first starter. Fed 3 days, saw it was active or starting to be! I still feed another 2-3 days correct?

I feed Anakin right before he goes in. When I bring him out let him rest an hour, feed him for about 3 days and he’s good. I actually really like the flavor the hooch gives.

So if I'm getting this correctly, once your starter is established, you store it in the fridge with an air-tight container. You still have to feed it once a week. And once you're ready for baking, you just take it out. It might peak by itself. If it doesn't, you have to feed it once or twice until it's doubled in size. Then you use it for baking, you feed it again, and you store it again in the fridge and repeat the process when wanting to bake?

I saw a lady left her starter for over a year in the fridge. The reason you store it in the fridge is so it goes dormant. you do not have to feed once you put it to sleep only when you wake it up.

Hi! New to sour dough! I’m a little confused! So you have your giant jar of starter, then you take a little out and into another jar and add water and flour and that whole mixing then you put the lid on. Then you say discard what was in the original jar. So the giant jar that you got the starter from is now discarded? I hope I wrote that not so confusing >.<

My starter was stored in the refrigerator. I brought it out, fed it 1:1:1 for three days. It’s not passing the float test. How do I know when it’s ready to bake with?

I followed these feeding ratios and then tried to use it for a loaf and came up short of the 100g of starter. I probably needed to do a separate feeding, right?
