So, lets say I have a yeast that's hard to find, and I want to continue to use it for many batches down the line, but know I won't be able to get it at the homebrew store again any time soon, if ever. Say I also want to build it up to pull X amount out to share with friends to use. Starting from one single pack, is there any reason I cannot build a starter up several times, pull half out to save and store, then continue to re-build the other half with multiple stage starter to use and share and such? Basically, how far can a single store bought pack of yeast be built up? I'm guessing indefinitely assuming it doesn't get contaminated or let sit in storage for too long of a time period.
and to spill the beans, its the Wyeast 3463 Forbidden Fruit. Gonna make me some belgian wit and see how it goes with this yeast
