Step 4Refrigeration and on into infinity.
All right. Tired of the 12 hour regiment yet? At this point you've been feeding this starter for about a week, give or take. It's time to put this starter to bed.
Unless you really want to tend to your starter every 12 hours for...forever, this step is critical. If you do have that kind of time I applaud you. Move on to the next step.
For the rest of us out there, the refrigerator is going to be key.
Go ahead and give your starter the last 12 hour feeding and clear some space in your refrigerator. If you have roommates, children or loved ones mark your container. If they throw your start away, all is lost. You're back at square one and all that time was for nothing.
Take your starter and set it in the refrigerator, then close the door. That's it. You're not on the once-a-week plan. Congratulations.
