Just curious really. I don’t bake very often, so sometimes I question why on earth I keep a starter alive. If it didn’t take a couple of weeks to get a new one going…

    I bake bread 2-3 times a week.

    If I need to take a break I give the starter a good feed then into the fridge.

      See I’m afraid of the fridge as my starters always seem to develop a kind of acetone-y smell once in the fridge - that no matter how long I feed for out of the fridge, just won’t go away.

      I’m not at home enough to bake that often - at best I could maybe do twice across a weekend and maybe pizza dough once a week.
