How to store starter
Store your starter in a container with a loosely fitting top. A mason jar works well as long as the lid isn’t screwed down tight. Or a wire bale jar as long as you don’t use the rubber gasket. Latching the jar without the gasket will allow sufficient air passage but will prevent the starter from drying out.
It’s best to store your starter in the refrigerator between uses. You may bring your starter to room temperature prior to use, or you can use a healthy starter straight out of the fridge. A healthy starter will usually keep in the fridge for at least 1 week between feedings without liquid forming or discoloration or mold developing.
