As for the crusty bits in your sourdough container, that I'm all too familiar with. It's inevitable that the jar is going to get cruddy with dried, rock hard starter stuck to the sides after a while of regular use. The only decent solution I've come up with is I keep a spare storage container and transfer the starter to the clean one as needed. Then I completely submerge the old one in hot soapy water for several hours. Then it's not so difficult to get it clean. Hi Margot,

Problem: I get hard crusty bits on the top of the dough as it rises. I never used to have this with regular bread. I also have crusty bits on the sides of my sourdough container - do I scrape them off?
