I just racked my Irish Red beer into a carboy, and i'm sterilizing a 48 oz spaghetti jar right now and it's lid, then will put the water and jar into the fridge to cool. I have closed my bucket and sealed it and left the air lock in.
Once cool, I plan on dumping the water into the bucket, swirling it around, and then pouring 48oz of that into the jar and sealing it.
The question is, I don't have any pint jars right now, so will probably go out and buy a few later today. Is it ok to leave the 48oz jar in the fridge this way for a few days, and then do the next washings when i get the smaller jars? I figured i'll turn this into two pint size yeast containers in a few days.
Or do i need to rush out and get them now?
