So, in the next month or so, I am going to start keeping vials of yeast that I harvest from various batches. Hooray. But is there any real risk with keeping vials of sour bugs & brett in the yeast fridge with my clean yeasts?
 
not if you seal everything up adequately. Keep in mind that if youve got any yogurt or veggies in your fridge, your yeast are sitting next to colonies of bacteria

Awesome. This was pretty well what I had assumed. I actually got a new(to me) mini fridge since I don't like having all my yeast in the main one. All kinds of weird things in there.
