Can I split my sourdough starter into two separate starters instead of discarding?
Yes, that works. Leftover or discard starter is rich in spores and can be grown into a fresh starter, and splitting one culture into two is perfectly fine. The one caution is the very first days: that early discard can carry unwanted microbes, so only build a second starter from it once your culture is established. After that, one starter can seed as many as you like.

2 Discarding starter when preparing a new batch can be frustrating. With experience, bread-making becomes more efficient, and excess discard is rarely produced. It is possible to prepare just the right amount of starter needed for bread dough. In fact, a fully depleted starter can even be revived using a small portion of bread dough. Any leftover discard, rich in spores, can also serve as a backup to create a new sourdough starter. Simply mix the discard with a little flour and water, and it will spring back to life. That is a great option if the starter was accidentally depleted. A practical approach is to store all discard in a single jar in the fridge, adding new discard on top as needed and using it whenever required.
