Do I need to feed again?

Hi guys, I took a portion of my "mother starter" from the fridge, fed it before bed and woke up to this. I read that most people will refresh it twice before using when taking it out of the fridge.

Do I still need to do that if the starter has more than doubled and passed the float test??

Holy frick, that's bubbly!

Feeding it twice or more before using your starter just ensures the bacteria are very active and ready. But judging from your picture, it doesn't need to be fed again.

Thank you! I used it as it is and it turned out ok!
