@eatbasilandbloom: Maintaining a tiny sourdough starter genuinely revolutionized my sourdough baking years ago when I chose to stop refrigerating my sourdough starter. The biggest questions I'm asked when I recommend it are "how much should I keep?" and "but what if I want to bake a lot of bread?". It's definitely not intuitive and goes against the current status quo of keeping enough starter on hand at all times to bake whenever you want. We created this graphic to answer those two questions along with giving examples of how easy it is to not only maintain a small amount of starter with daily refreshments, but to also show that it's not that complicated to bulk your starter from 45g to many kilograms in just a few feedings. I hope that this is helpful as you transition from a large starter to a tiny one!
