Anyone know how to reduce the Amish Friendship bread starter?

Question

I will not have people every 10 days to share the starter with. So, would like to maintain a much smaller amount so I could bake a loaf and continue one starter.

Answer 1

Rather than reduce the starter, freeze it. Freeze the starter in 1 cup measures for later use. Frozen starter will take at least 3 hours at room temperature to thaw before using.

Answer 2

can you just use half of everything? that's what i do.
