I want to make a yeast starter from yeast I've saved in some bottle conditioned beers. Can I make a starter and then just put the slurry in the fridge for use later? How long could I keep it in there? Liquid yeast bought from the store lasts awhile in the fridge so I'm thinking I can do the same with my homemade slurry. If I can't keep it in the fridge for more than 2 months, does anyone have any suggestions for storing the slurry longer? Thanks.
