Hello. I was wondering how to go about cultivating yeast from a primary carboy.. well, i mean for example: i gathered the yeast from the primary, put it in a sanitized water bottle and put a cap on it and put it in the fridge for later use.. it has a little bit of beer of the surface. I figure i can get that beer out with a turkey blaster or some kind of syphon or what-not. Anyway, what is a good way to make more of that yeast strain to put in another bottle and save that for later use aswell.. any idea's? and again repeat the process over and over.. I will also save the new yeast from the end of the new fermented batch and store that again aswell.. I only have one question, does the yeast lose its potency over time if you do it this way? like a clone of a clone? My guess is that it will be perfectly fine, but i would like everyone's input please, and also how to go about making more.. can I use a constant type of sugar or DME that wont affet the next batch due to the sugar i use?! just throwing my idea's out there.. Thanks in advance.... (sorry for the grammar)
also, can I also cultivate the liquid just the same as the dry? it doesnt seem like a diiference at the point of cloning... the reason I'm asking is because i want to have yeast readily available to me.. and cheaper!!
