Im culturing yeast

Devonhomebrew · Jun 9, 2012

Im culturing yeast for sours and other wild fermented ales. Can i freeze yeast once its been cultured so i can use it again in maybe 1 year or maybe more as ive got a very nice fruity spicys sour smelling beer in primary but i want to grow the yeast and use it for another batch in a couple of years.

From what I hear cold doesn't kill yeast, it makes it dormant, whereas heat kills it. For that reason I don't see why not, but get a second opinion first :p

that programme about guiness had there yeast in dry ice (very cold) and only got out some every once in a while so i would say it would last a good long time
