Usually, the bags don't immediately need much care. It is a ten day cycle. On days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9, you only need to mash the bag to keep the ingredients mixed. Keep the bag at room temp (NOT in the fridge).
I like to make myself a little index card chart to keep organized!
On day 6, you FEED the starter by giving it
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
You then mash the bag to combine the ingredients.
On day 10, you FEED and then DIVIDE the starter. This time you give your yeastie beasties 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup milk. Then you put 1 cup portions into gallon Ziploc bags, write the date on them (this is day 1 of the new cycle), and hand them out to unsuspecting people passing by.
Don't let your culture touch metal or get cold, and everything will be fine.
On day 10, you can also keep 1 cup for yourself and use it in recipes! If you have kept the yeast culture alive this long, you may as well get some baked goods out of it. Here's the classic recipe for Cinnamon Sugar Quick Bread.
And here are some more possibilities (which don't use instant pudding mix as one of the ingredients):
You can also freeze your starter and bake with it later.
Wish you had a bag of Amish Friendship Bread Starter? Here is how to start a culture. Have fun!
UPDATE: If playing around with the Amish Friendship Bread Starter -- which is a sweet sourdough -- makes you interested in traditional sourdough, I highly recommend the videos and recipes from Lisa at Farmhouse on Boone.
