Lately I've been collecting yeast from my 3 day starter into a little glycerine to freeze down for storage. Its so simple to just pour a little off the flask into my mason jars. Is there any disadvantage to collecting from the starter rather than from an active fermentation in real wort? This is so easy it makes yeast ranching a snap!
