Cultivating Yeast

[raven11356]

So I made an oatmeal stout a few weeks back. when I went back to clean the airlock i notice there was a sediment of yeast on the bottom of the air lock and just for ****s and giggles I decided to cultivate the yeast in honey and water and it flipping worked! Im not gonna use the yeast for beer making but my question is... Is this the way you cultivate your own yeast and if so what can i give them for a healthy result and how do i store them? thanx guys
