I had a bit remaining in the bottling bucket which would not get out of the spigot, so I poured the remains into a Mason Jar, and sealed it tight...
Is this a problem ?

That's how I store mine, haven't had any problems.Cheesefood said:How about using a mason jar to hold yeast? I have one full of 3068 and i'd like to know that it's not going to waste.
The lid of a mason jar is not designed to contain the lid under outward pressure. It is only to keep the lid from being knocked loose during storage.abracadabra said:...But pressure is pressure. If the seal is good it will hold pressure. whether it's a vacuum or positive pressure...

negative pressure is not positive pressure. A piece of plastic covering a small hole will hold considerable negative pressure but not one bit of positive pressure.

And thats a good thing because the mason jar is not nearly as strong as a beer bottle so if the top could hold pressure you would easily produce jar bombs.

Nice little yeast cake has formed - like a micro-secondary ...
I DID open the lid and you were right --- absolutely NO FSST (which I kind of expected anyway)
But 6.2% is 6.2% ! Right ??
SWMBO and I each had one last night (carbonated, of course ) WOW!
Thx for the replies ... I just love this forum
Are you out of your mind! That is Home Brew abuse. Pour the rest into a glass and toast your newly bottled beer!Professor Frink said:I pour that last bit out for my homies. Actually, I usually just dump it. But maybe for the homies from now on...
