I have a question about this starter. Do I have to make sourdough bread every 2-3 days forever or can I just let the starter sit for a longer time between uses?

My limited experience with sourdough starter includes keeping it in the refrigerator between uses. That slows down the process for those of us who want it but not every couple of days! But that was not using this specific recipe, so we really need to hear from the poster on whether or not this recipe reacts well to more longer term refrigeration…
