I've been given some sourdough starter...now what do I do?

[IToldYouIWasFreaky]

My mum gave me some sourdough starter, a couple of days ago, about half a jam jar full. It looks bubbly and smells slightly sour, so I think it's good to go!
How do I look after it? I've been keeping it in the fridge and I understand that I should take it out for about 24 hours before I use it and feed it but I am confused by how much I should be feeding it as every recipe I look it is for different amounts and I don't seem to have very much starter.
Help and tips gratefully received! I love sourdough bread and it would be amazing to be able to make my own

Someone gave me some about ten days ago. I've been using foodbodsourdough.com because I find her easy to understand. My first loaf was "alright" but I used her problem-solving page and the second one was loads better. Good luck!

Go onto the recipe board here there is a massive thread but basically weigh the starter and feed it the same weight in flour and add the same weight /vol of water

Chuck it away! Making sourdough will turn you smug. I've seen it happen.

I take out all but 25g of the starter then feed with 100g of flour and 100g of water. Worked fine so far! Don't chuck the discard, there are loads of things you can make with it. Sourdough pancakes are really good...

It is easy to make sourdough bread, it takes many hours but you don't have to do much. It does it all itself

Another vote for chucking it.

I don't like sourdough, am I the only one? Give me a good Bloomer any day.

I don't like sourdough, am I the only one?

No, DH doesn’t like either. I like it but I still think it’s over rated.

Throw it away it will take over your life!
