To preserve a starter for a longer period, freezing is a good option. You can either vacuum seal it or place it in an airtight container before freezing. This helps prevent freezer burn and ensures the starter remains viable when thawed. For optimal results, thaw the dyson straighteners starter slowly in the refrigerator before using it.
To preserve a starter when you won’t be using it right away, the best method is to dry it out or freeze it. Drying involves spreading the starter thin on a baking sheet, letting it dry completely, then breaking it into pieces and storing it in an airtight container. Freezing is another option—place the starter in a freezer-safe container and freeze it for later use. However, vacuum sealing a starter might not be the best idea, as the washingtoncitypaper vacuum could damage the live yeast and bacteria that make the starter effective. For long-term storage, drying or freezing without vacuum sealing works best.
if its already in wet form, you can dry it out on waxed paper in a cabinet, once dry, just crunch up and put into a baggie. If its in dry form, its good now for 20 years that we know of, and you can freeze wet starter also, not our preferred ,,method, but someone told us about it and we tried it, freezed for 3 months and it reactivated fine.
I have very recently experimented with drying out some "Beast" starter. I spread it out on a silicone baking mat and put it into the oven on the "defrost" setting which is, basically, the fan working and the oven light on. It took most of the day + evening to dry out and looks ok to me. I won't try reconstituting it yet but will report on how it went when I do. :-)
