Do I feed starter before putting in fridge?

Storing your sourdough starter

If you aren’t intending to use your sourdough starter every day, it is best kept in the fridge. To do this, feed it as instructed above, seal the jar and then stand at room temperature for 2-3 hours (to help reinvigorate the yeast) before placing in the fridge to store.

Can sourdough starter make you sick?

Can I freeze sourdough discard?

Freeze it: Sourdough starter can be stored in the freezer for up to one year. You can also store discarded sourdough starter in the freezer to use for a future recipe like many of those below. Dehydrate it: Another way to store sourdough starter long term is to dry it out.

Do you Stir down sourdough starter before measuring?

Because starter volume can vary wildly, depending on how thick it is and whether or not it’s fully stirred down before measuring. Weight will always be the most accurate way to measure starter — plus it saves cleaning a measuring cup!
