Alright, so I am a new brewer and I would like to save my yeast for another brew. Im not using this yeast on my next 2 brews for sure.
The yeast is from a wyeast pack and is finishing up a 5 gallon batch of a British Ale.
Anyway,
what I have down so far is extract the beer leaving the sediment at the bottom.
Take the settlement and pour it into a sanitized mason jar.
How long can it stay in this "dormant" state?
Do I screw the sanitized lid on tight?
do I keep it in the fridge, if so for how long?
so next questions,
At some point I need to feed them, but I read somewhere not sugar.
so what do I feed them and when?
I saw after feeding them to leave the cap on loosely, do I place them back in the fridge or what ballpark temperature should it be kept at?
OK,
so its time to use them. Do I need to do anything to prep them for use?
I keep seeing "starter" should be added with it but I don't fully understand what that means.
thanks for any help at all, I know I just asked about 65 questions in one post. Just trying to make sure I fully understand.
