So I made up a yeast starter with some wlp001. I then poured off the liquid "beer" into another sanitized container and cold crashed. I used the yeast cake in the bottom of the original starter to make a new starter which I pitched this weekend.
So, what I have is the yeast that cold crashed out of the original starter liquid. I decanted the liquid off of them (it tasted fine) and added another starter on it. When it ferments out I plan to shake it up (Maybe I should cold crash and decant some then shake up) and split it into 4 or 5 sanitized jars to keep in the fridge to make more starters from soon.
Is this ok?
How long can I keep them in the fridge safely?
Can I repeat the process when I get down to 1 jar?
How can I know how much yeast is in the jars or what size starter or how many times to step a starter up when I use them?
Thanks
