Hey all!
I am very happy to join this site. I have already learned a lot from here and I hope to share my funny experiments in the future.
I am really into wild yeast and a month a go I've made some ginger beer with wild grape yeast: I harvested the yeast from crushed grapes and orange juice-
It was really yummy, had great color and was pretty alcoholic (still waiting for my hydrometer to arrive so I don't know the abv..)
I really want to preserve this yeast so I can use it for future batches.
I've made it again a few days a go and put half a side. I then feed it with grape juice for a few days. Then I put it in the fridge but I think it went sour and I'm not sure why(smells like good vinegar though..)
do I have to wait until I reck this batch to follow those instructions https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=41768 ?
or is there a way to preserve it from the original plant/starter ?
Thanks!
