Sourdough starter is one of the most resilient\/intelligent things you will meet in your life. Well, it might not be able to survive 96 month without food like human fish do, but hey, two or six weeks (or months) is great too, right?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"simpletoc-title\">Table of Contents<\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-preserve-sourdough-starter-short-to-longterm\">How to preserve sourdough starter short to long-term?<\/h2>\n<p>You have a few options, so I\u2019ll run through them and you can make up your mind as to which method of trying to preserve your sourdough starter suits you best.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-make-very-stiff-starter-and-keep-it-in-the-fridge\">1. Make very stiff starter and keep it in the fridge. <\/h3>\n<p>Stiff sourdough starter is starter with low hydration level (less than 100%) and the consistency of dough. To make stiff starter, I took a tablespoon of my 100% hydrated rye sourdough starter left from the last baking before the travel and mixed it with 80 g of rye flour and 55 g of water (or more if the batter is really dry). I kept the starter on the counter for 30 minutes and then put it in the fridge until I came home from vacation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/stiff-sourdough-starter-in-pot-720x525.jpg\" alt=\"Stiff sourdough starter\" class=\"wp-image-294\" title=\"How To Preserve Sourdough Starter When On Vacation 1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/stiff-sourdough-starter-in-pot-720x525.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/stiff-sourdough-starter-in-pot-420x306.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/stiff-sourdough-starter-in-pot-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/stiff-sourdough-starter-in-pot-840x612.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/stiff-sourdough-starter-in-pot-1536x1120.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/stiff-sourdough-starter-in-pot-2048x1493.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/stiff-sourdough-starter-in-pot-1568x1143.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/stiff-sourdough-starter-in-pot-150x109.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/stiff-sourdough-starter-in-pot-380x277.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Left: stiff sourdough starter after being prepared. Right: stiff sourdough starter 14 days later (kept in the fridge in the meantime).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>In stiff starter, yeasts and bacteria grow slower due to the\u00a0 harder time accessing the nutrients. This means it will take longer time for your starter to fully rise (this means you can enjoy your vacation without being worried about your starter going crazy).<\/p>\n<p>Keeping your starter in the fridge will not kill the bacteria and yeast, low temperature just slows down their activity. Bacteria is normally most active between 30-35\u00b0C (86-96\u00b0F) and yeast in acid environent between 20-25\u00b0C (68-78\u00b0F).<\/p>\n<p>When opening a jar with your stiff starter after one week or more, you will notice it has risen and also that your starter has sharp acidic smell \u2013 this is acetic acid. Acetic acid is a product of bacteria and its production is higher at the lower temperature due to the higher availability of fructose (product of enzyme activity of yeast that function well at low temperatures) which makes the acetic acid production possible.<\/p>\n<p>Option: You might also try to leave your more liquid starter in the fridge for more than one week. In that case, just make sure you mix larger quantitities of flour into it and that you keep the jar clean.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-freeze-you-sourdough-starter\">2. Freeze you sourdough starter<\/h3>\n<p>Feed your starter as you normally do, leave it to rise and then place it into freezer. When you are ready to use it again, thaw it and feed it regularly to bring it back to its activity (or experiment what the unfed starter can do) \u2013 you might have to feed it twice in 12 hours to see any activity.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"478\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/frozen-sourdough-starter-478x720.jpg\" alt=\"Frozen sourdough starter\" class=\"wp-image-295\" title=\"How To Preserve Sourdough Starter When On Vacation 2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/frozen-sourdough-starter-478x720.jpg 478w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/frozen-sourdough-starter-279x420.jpg 279w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/frozen-sourdough-starter-768x1156.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/frozen-sourdough-starter-558x840.jpg 558w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/frozen-sourdough-starter-1020x1536.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/frozen-sourdough-starter-1360x2048.jpg 1360w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/frozen-sourdough-starter-150x226.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/frozen-sourdough-starter-252x380.jpg 252w, https:\/\/www.mydailysourdoughbread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/frozen-sourdough-starter.jpg 1424w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Frozen 100%hydration rye sourdough starter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-dehydrate-your-starter\">3.
