this is only mysecond starter, I did a 3L starter with mj dry yeast belgium tripel yeast a long time ago
Now I'm doing a riwaka kolsch with the white labs pure pitch pack so thought saving some yeast nakes sense so decided to do a 2L starter which is bigger than I need but within the capabiluties of my flask with the intention of keeping the excess yeast for storage.
I now have a stirplate working which i didnt have when i did the dry yeast starter.
I gave been accumulating stuff to store yeast so given i have a long weekend I guess u will use some of it..
I have glycerin for freezing and preassure cooker etc. I even gave agar agar if i want to expirinent with streaking.
While I sort out the main brew and the storage processes i guess a steralised jar in the fridge with a bit or wort. Its not likley i will brew with this yeast for at least a few months but i would like to save some. Just comes down to choosing the best storage method since i have everything for freezing or slants etc.
Best storage method for 3+ month range etc. I can try them all but pointers to most conveniant are welcome.
