If I get the conical I've been looking at and begin harvesting yeast how long can I keep it?

Manufacturers say two weeks tops. I don't brew very often but if I can use yeast kept for two ore three months I think I can make that work.
 
I don't have a conical, but I keep yeast in mason jars for months. Just make a starter before pitching and you'll be set for a long time. I have about 5 or 6 different yeast strains in my fridge that way.
 
Thank you. That will knock 8 bucks off the cost. I'll give it a try. Now I have to get the minister of finance to okay a few hundred dollars. Its probably wise to wait after the holidays.
