Yes, it hangs out in the fridge. I feed it a couple times before I want to make a loaf to get it really active. I haven't had any troubles with it so far...knocks wood. 

 have you tried using the starter to make English muffins? so good 🤤 

 I haven't, but I need to. 

 this recipe works pretty well for me
