Was wondering if when you pour your starter into the bowl to make bread, should you wash out the jar before adding the one cup of starter to the jar?
 
My mind is a scary thing....OH NO.....here come the voices again!!!

sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. If the jar didn't come clean from the rinse of warm water I clean it.

[OU812]

After I dump the starter in the bowl and scrape clean with a spatula.

I add the warm water, that is to be added the the feeding, to the jar first.

Then shake and pour that in the starter flour sugar mix.

Then rinse and fill the jar up with scolding hot water put on the lid loosly and set aside.

I dont use soap, thats just me.

Sonny expressed some interest in dehydrating the starter to make it easier to distribute, I'm gonna give it a go. Baked last Sunday, still have bread. Gonna feed tonight, retain my 1 cup in the morning and spread out the remainder on parchment paper and into the dehydrator at 100 degrees and see what happens. From what I have read, you can take the dried flakes and turn them into a powder with a coffee mill.
Now the bringing back to life thing is yet to be seen. I will dry out 2 cups of starter, 1 cup per rack so it is easy to keep track of.

I am thinking that the powder could be added to a normal feed cycle, and develop without refrigeration for 24 to 48 hours. Any ideas or direction welcome.
