Normally transferring all but a little blob (about 5 gr) of the starter (aka discard) to a storage container in the fridge (to be used for a discard starter bread) Feeding with a 1:2:2 ratio on baking day, otherwise a 1:5:5 ratio or I simply keep the starter in the fridge covered by a thin layer of flower. Before baking day I give it a proper feeding at ambient temp.
