What's the consensus on keeping a sour starter from dregs alive? I recently bought a house and am looking forward to having a place to let a sour go for a few years, but money is tight and it might be 3-4 weeks before i can have a good brew day. In the mean time, i have several sour ales i was planning on using dregs from to make the sour and i have a problem with not drinking them for 3-4 weeks.
If i made a small starter, drank one sour and pitched the dregs, would it still be viable in a month? i'm assuming i'd have to refeed it which isn't a problem. I'd probably pitch dregs from several (maybe up to 5) sour commercials over that length of time. Thoughts?
