yeast

Should the yeast packets that I am not using be in the refrigerator? I have many yeast packets for next batches and just wanted to know and cant get a straight answer. So thought I would ask here

Yes, store them in the fridge.

That should work just fine. If they are dry packs, you can hydrate them prior to pitching. If they are liquid you should make a starter to make sure it's still good.

It is a dry packet of belgian yeast.

+1 on storing them in the fridge, no question.

I have a small one I use for beer and washed yeast, leftover hops, etc. Works great!

If you brew that much....then I say go for it

Once or twice a month. Washing is cheaper than buying, and there are many strains you can accumulate. I just keep them in my dorm fridge in small mason jars.
