What to do with leftover yeast

[Ragnaroker]

Hey fellas. I will be pitching half a tube of sweet mead yeast into my last 1 gallon batch today. I will have half a tube left, and hate to see it go to waste.....is there anything I can pitch it into just to kind of screw around? I have a gallon carboy free and a grocery store down the street.

Make a starter with it so you will have lots more yeast on hand. Here's a link to some starter information on making starters. Save the yeast you propagate in 8 or 16 ounce jelly jars.
