I honestly didn't think I'd keep it alive past the first month, but now it's a permanent kitchen resident. I feed it with 50g each of rye flour and water every morning. Anyone else have a starter that's become a weirdly important pet?
My buddy had a starter he named Bob. He kept Bob alive for years, felt bad tossing any. Eventually his fridge was just full of jars. Had to remind him it's flour and water, not a pet.
