dear everyone:
I am sorry to ask something I'm sure has been covered, but my searches turn up too many hits to be useful.
How many days do you need to feed a starter that's been in the refrigerator before you can bake with it again?
It's been in the refrigerator since Saturday; I didn't think I'd have time to bake again but it looks like this weekend I might.
Thank you!

OH, wait, I see: a pre-ferment. I need more caffeine.
for up to 20 weeks with no maintenance. Each week I take 5-10 g of it and build a levain for that weeks bake over (3) 4 hour stages - so for me 12 hours after the bit comes out of the fridge it is ready to raise a loaf of bread.
Happy baking
