- [Hooch, Bubbles, or Mold: What Your Starter Shows](https://startercarelab.com/blog/hooch-bubbles-or-mold-what-your-starter-shows/): A dark liquid layer can look alarming, while bubbles and an acidic smell may simply be part of fermentation. Learn which signs call for a feeding and which mean the whole starter should be discarded.
- [A Simple Fridge Routine for Sourdough Starter](https://startercarelab.com/blog/a-simple-fridge-routine-for-sourdough-starter/): A refrigerator can make starter care fit around a busy week, but it does not remove the need to feed. Set a routine that keeps the jar easy to check and the next bake easy to plan.
- [A Sluggish Starter Needs One Change at a Time](https://startercarelab.com/blog/a-sluggish-starter-needs-one-change-at-a-time/): When bubbles slow down, changing the flour, feeding ratio, and location all at once makes it harder to tell what helped. Start with temperature and a simple feeding you can track.
