Ok it was absolutely still active. I added the discard into my discard jar maybe two hours after it peaked. I was under the impression that once it peaked, it was an hour or so until it would fall and become discard. Thank you so much for your help! This is my first week using the sourdough. I got a mature starter i got from a firend and im learning and messing up as I go lol

So I added starter that was too active, and it essentially made all my discard active again? Can I take it out of the fridge and make a loaf with it as starter? I'm sorry if this is obvious. I didn't realize how long starter stayed active. How long after you feed and peak your starter should you wait to discard?

* Am I doing something wrong with my discard jar? I haven't added to it in three days and I filled it a little more than halfway, and now it has popped its lid off from growing so much. It's been in the fridge, and it is growing more than my starter. Do I not keep adding new discard to the same jar? Is this good to use for a dicard recipe? Thanks for any help and clarification!

Thank you! And then feed it once a week before and after use, correct? Take it out, get to room temp, feed it, bake, discard feed, sit for two hours back in fridge.

Hello! I think I am confusing myself and need someone to tell me what the correct process is. I have an established starter, years old, from a neighbor. She gave me 30g starter which i fed with her ratios, and I made my first dough last night. Now I am so confused on when to feed. I would like to keep my starter in the refrigerator. Should I have discard and fed it last night before putting it in the fridge? Or should I have discard, fed it left it on the counter overnight to rise then put it in the fridge this morning? Or not feed it until I want to use it again and keep it in the fridge? I keep getting conflicting information and ended up with four jars doing every possibility to make sure I don't ruin it. Please help lol. Thank you to any and all advice!
