How can I take a sample of sourdough with me when I move?

My sourdough is over 8 yrs old and really sourSince I won't see my household goods for a month, how can I be assured it will be good when I set up in my new digs?

Answer:

guy - I read an article on sour dough starter it said you could dry the starter by pouring a cup of starter on a large piece of aluminum foil spread it out very thin let it dry completely break it up in small pieces and store it in an air tight container, when ready to reconstitute the starter add 1 cup warm water let sit until the dry starter is softened then feed as usualI haven't needed to try this but I see no reason why it would not workWhen I was in the retail bakery business I bought a dry starter to make my salt rising breadand it worked just fineAnd this is the only way I see how you could keep your original starter for a month or longer without feeding itGood luck with the starterjim b
