tip: take a kitchen brush and "paint it" thick (have to stick your tongue out as far as you can when you say the ˈθ sound, i do not make the rules) on parchment paper. put it in oven, and turn on the oven light. Wait till it dries. Collect the dry flakes and store in dark, airtight jar. Keeps 'forever'-ish. Take it anywhere, and to re-awaken, just rehydrate and feed. 2-3 days and baaam! you got your progenitor starter's baby in a jar.
No constant feeding and wasted flour.
