Storing yeast???

GIusedtoBe · Aug 12, 2007

Hey guys I washed (or close proximity thereof) my Wyeast 3333 and now it resides in a ball jar in my refrigerator for about 10 days now. Do all of the yeast fall to the bottom when refrigerated? How long will it keep like this and still be viable? Anybody got any good extract recipes for this yeast? :drunk:

Thanks,
Al

I have been able to rouse washed yeast stored in the fridge after a month or two. I think Homebrewer_99 said he has roused yeast after a year but I have never attempted this myself.

I have read that yeast is good up to months. Even if it is still viable after that there are so many dead cells that it is not worth using, you risk off flavors etc.
