Since you are enjoying the learning experience, why don't you experiment a
little further and learn a little more about your starter and what happens
when you feed it? Feed your starter and place it in a clean, straight-sided
container for the 24 hour period. Using a piece of tape that you can write
on, run the tape down the container from top to bottom. Mark the tape and
note the time every time you observe the level in the container. This
should help you figure out your starters activity schedule and help you
determine approximately when your starter reaches its peak.
