Im building some sour cultures in 1 gallon fermenters with low hopped wort. Ive been pouring of the wort every 2 months and reworting it to try and feed the growing cultures fresh stuff. This is the first time ive started a growing culture bank. In my coming personal schedule im seeing that i will have to leave this stuff alone without refeedong for 4 or 5 months. Do you think this will be ok, and when i can return to the project , I can jusy carry on feeding and building them up more.
The end goal is to get these strains super hearty, as the commercial strains seem to be.
 
Be careful, the yeasts will be super angry if you don't feed them for this long. No really they will be fine. At what temperature ar you keeping you cultures?
 
They are at 70 degrees. I havent yet pitched anything from these guys yet, but i have one im gonna try this week. Pretty excited!
 
70F is good, i have read that brett cultures are best stored at room temp and in my experience also lacto stays healty for a few months.
