I keep my rye starter dried in a jar when not bakin. When I want to bake, i put some flakes of the dry starter in water and add some flour to get a porridge like consistency. I keep it in a warm place until it starts to bubble properly and then I make a raski which is a sort of levain but for Finnish wholewheat rye bread

Add water and wholemeal rye flour to the mixture and keep in room temp. for another day. On the fouth day you can start making rye bread by making raski - this is the FInnish style to feed a rye starter. Take a part of the raski on baking parchment when it bubbles and spread it as a thin layer to dry for next time you bake. Traditionally this was done in a tiinu, a large wooden vessel for baking.
