Sherwood is now ready to use. Your Sherwood sourdough starter should have grown to at least 4 cups (1 L), and should be the consistency of thin pancake batter. If Sherwood is thicker, add lukewarm water until the desired consistency is achieved before using it in a recipe.

When Sherwood is down to 1 cup (250 mL) OR once every 10 days, follow Day 2 steps and let the mixture grow again.

You can freeze Sherwood for up to 3 months. Before using, thaw slowly in refrigerator for 24 hours.
Follow Day 2 steps and leave at room temperature overnight before using.
