I went away and left my starter in the fridge for 52 days without feeding it once. I've always wanted to see how long I could leave it without feeding and still resurrect it with building just one levain and no additional feeds. If you're wondering if you really need to feed your starter every day or want to know how long you can leave it, this video will show you my results.

Note: If you try the old faithful recipe, you should use the directions in the recipe and video I've linked right above here. I adjust the amount of levain I use depending on the temperature, and then above is the best to start. Happy baking, and as ever, if you need anything, just let me know.
