Who all keeps sourdough starter in their fridge? And how many years have you had it going?

Started in March 2020, still going. I "wake it up" every other week or so to bake a few loaves of bread, then back in the fridge.

I had one going for a couple three years, got tired of messing with it and dehydrated some of the starter. Am currently in the process of rehydrating it and getting it fermenting again.

Just fed mine this morning....for some loafs this weekend.

I have kept my original staahter alive for just ovah 4 years.

I have my sent some starter to Montana and Minnesota...and they

Are still alive.

And yes ...keep it in the fridge ...so I don't have to feed it all the time

Sourdough Pancakes can not be beat !!!

I got the wife a starter a little over a year ago from some mom and pop place I found online that claimed it was 100+ yrs old.

She keeps hers in the fridge and even some in the freezer I think.

We haven't bought bread in 6 months.

She's shared starters with a bunch of her friends, some have become as addicted as she is

She was splitting and feeding this morning for some boules to make this weekend too

My starter is roughly 150 years old that we know of for sure possibly quite older, I have kept my part of this starter alive for 20 years.

FYI.

Anybody interested in trading some starter for some homemade quince syrup? And I'll pay your shipping?

Every time I get one going good the wife throws it out because she thinks it went bad.

My dad would buy some buckwheat pancake mix.
Make up a batch, and leave it on the counter for awhile.
Not sure how long , but it made some very good pancakes.
Thinking not more than a week before he made a new batch.
But don't remember or know for sure.

Sourdough starter can be froze or dried. If you spread it thin on parchment paper and place in a warm oven, 100-150 it will help speed up dying. Once it is dry just break it up and put it in a zip lock. You can freeze dried starter too.
