How-to feed a Sourdough Starter

Making a starter is crucial to this step, so if you haven’t made a sourdough starter yet, go do that first. Now that you got your little starter you need to know what the heck to do with it, so you can keep it alive. No problem, the answer is here.

Follow this how-to feed a sourdough starter guide and you can raise a happy, healthy little sourdough starter for as long as you want to keep it around, and it will only get better with age! These starters can live on through generations, maybe one of the weirdest gifts you can receive from your family but using a hundred year old starter would be pretty damn wild!

There are two main ways to keep your starter, in the fridge or on the counter. You can keep it in the fridge and take it out once a week to feed, or if you want to use your starter on the regular, then you can keep it on the counter, but you will need to feed it daily if you choose this method.

If you have a recipe that needs a lot of Sourdough Starter then you can keep the Sourdough Starter and your discards (in new jars) on the counter and keep feeding the starters until you have the required amount of starter.
