Ringwood Brewery have kindly given me a whopping bag of there yeast taken freshly from a fermenter. Now as I am not intending brewing for a week or two what are my best options please?
I don't want to keep it in a bag as to easy to puncture. So I am thinking of sterilising two Kilner jars and putting two sample slit 50/50 with sterilised water in the fridge. I am also thinking of boiling up some light DME to maker a starter yeast in case I have time to use it sooner than I think, also for the practice of course. I also have glycerol so might even try to freeze some. I am guessing that the bag is mainly yeast as brewery's harvesting from the bottom of the fermenter, would this be correct? This stuff is like cream its that dense ))
Am I correct doing this.
