I just racked my English IPA from primary to secondary after 2 weeks and have started a yeast culture in a Growler I had lying around. My question is, after I ferment this out can I fill them into some extra 22 oz bottles and cap them, same as if I was just bottling beer? I am looking to start 5 of these for some upcoming pale ale's that I am going to brew just for the hell of it. If this works how long will the yeast be viable if stored in the fridge?
Here's what I did: After sanitizing everything I filled the growler 2/3 of the way with a basic wort made with a 1/2 lbs of Dextrose and after 4 hours the yeast are going crazy. Do I need to add some Hops to this? The yeast was a dry pack of Nottingham (I know its cheap but I have to learn on something).
