Then something changed and it started to smell great. I found that after I pulled a cup out for bread, I could just add another cup of flour and half cup of water (i do use filtered, not tap), then a week later I could revive the starter just fine.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently if you are going to be away from your start for a long time you can just dry it out, save the chips.  Unproven by me, but they say this method preserves the starter for eons.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carson.fenimorefamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_9448.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/carson.fenimorefamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_9448-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9448\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carson.fenimorefamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_9448-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carson.fenimorefamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_9448-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carson.fenimorefamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_9448-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starter I used the following sourdough recipe from King Arthur Flour.
