Hello! I'm a new home brewer, and I got a few doubt's about yeast culturing;
I'm planning to save some money by start harvesting yeast in petri-plates or flasks and storing them in a controled temperature.
I read a lot about that, but in none of the articles I've read I've found info's about the viable life of a yeast culture stored at the right temperature?
Here goes the doubts:
1) which is the best temperature to keep the yeast colognes and to guarantee a healthy and good "sleep"?
2) If I keep this temperature, how long can my cologne can last?
3) Do I need to propagate the yeast cultures after that they have grown, and than store them in vials like the liquid yeasts from White Labs (this is just an exemple of a vial flask, actually it's the first exemple that came up to my mind!) to guarantee that they will be able to live longer in a healthy enviroment?
There is any article, book or even a post that you can recomend about this issues?
Thank you!
