I'm looking to start harvesting a few yeast strains I want for my upcoming brews. I just finished a Brown ale, and collected some second runnings. I boiled this down to about 1.070 (by accident), so I added some tap water to bring it down to 1.040. I poured into a gallon water jug (plastic milk jug). Will this work? I'm not quite sure how long I plan to store this but do I care about oxygenation if I'm not worried about the flavor, just a source of maltose? Also, am I gonna have a problem because I had to dilute with tap water. Thanks.
