Just wanted to thank you again for your Quarantiny starter project. Not having to discard so much flour at a time gave me courage I needed to try it out, and now I am baking at least a loaf a week, and I just taught my 77-year-old dad how to bake sourdough and sent him home with a nice healthy offspring of my starter.

Hi, Mr. Janjigian. You and I talked on Twitter about this, but I wanted to give you an update on my current high-elevation starter attempt. My starter is currently doubling (or more than doubling) and in full deflation mode at or before the 8-hour mark. Should I wait until the 12-hour point and feed it then, so it's being refreshed twice a day, or should I feed it when I notice it's begun deflating (and thus feed it more than twice a day)? It still doesn't pass the float test, so I know it's not ready for baking yet.
