  Bug Maintenance:
  
  The sourdough bug can be kept in the fridge for at least 3 months
  without use. However, if it has not been used for some time, it may
  need to be fed twice before becoming sufficiently active.
  
  Periodically transfer the bug to a clean jar.
  
  It is normal for the bug to taste sour and to smell sour or
  fermented. If it smells like expired milk or develops spots on the
  surface that look like mouldy cheese (green, blue, or grey fuzzy
  spots), discard it. If the bug does not become very active, and
  tastes like flour and water without much sourness, feed it, and leave
  it out of the fridge for a couple of days with the lid loose.
  
  It is normal for the bug to develop a watery layer on top. If the
  water is clear, light grey, or slightly yellow, simply stir it back
  in before use. If the water is purple or dark grey, pour the water
  off, transfer the bug to a new jar, and stir in more water to return
  it to the desired consistency.
