I set and started a new batch of sourdough starter a few days ago, and today I made sourdough banana bread with the overripe bananas!

It smells really really good.

OK, so you can close the lid? I'm not sure what I was expecting, if you just had to leave it open on top of the fridge to collect cat hair or something??? XDDD

Reading the sample, opening pages...eee this is great... ok so not tightly sealed. Also I think our pantry is too cold right now, but in a few weeks it'll warm up...

You really only need the lid to be loose for the initial catch - after that the colony will be fine if its in a sealed environment!

And yeah, once it's established it will take a chillier temp pretty well - mine have always done fine at like, sixty/sixty two F ambient in the winter, but I've never tried to get one started in the chill, so I don't know how that would go.
