ziplock-type gallon bag to store my sour dough starter in the fridge.
I am using a zip type gallon bag to store my sour dough starter in the fridge. Will it keep working after a week in storage? I take it out of the fridge the night before and feed it two cups flour and two cups lukewarm water.
Best Answer
One week is fine. I keep my starter also for one week in the fridge and feed it once a week:
- 20g starter
- 50g water
- 50g rye flour
If you want to do it for a longer period, I'd exchange the plastic for glass which is 100% safe from leeching nasty stuff into your starter.
