When my starter in on the counter I cover with a tea towel and secure with a rubber band.

In the refrigerator I secure the with a screw on lid.

If you do store in the refrigerator take it out to sit on the counter about 24 hours before you are going to use.

I do fed my starter right when I take out of the refrigerator to reactive it with one cup of flour and 3/4 cup of filter water (give or take with the water).

When I am done using my starter for the week I make sure it is fed and I leave in on the counter for twenty four hours before I place in refrigerator.
