Feeding Schedule for Starter?
I've not been keeping a regular feeding schedule. Every few days when I remember I throw an even amount of 50/50 (whole wheat/unbleached bread) flour and water into the starter. When the jar starts to get full I discard half. I use a tablespoon mixed with 200 grams water and 200 grams 50/50 flour the night before as the leaven.
Since it's refrigerated, do I need to be feeding it more than once a week? Is the amount I feed it important as long as it's less than half the starter?
The bread has all turned out roughly the same...in fact the other day I forgot to make enough leaven and I just added some straight starter and it worked out fine.
