K-97 gone mad`

[wombil]

Hey Guys,
I have done a hefewizen and a roggenbier both with K-97 yeast.
This stuff has gone lunatic and kept gushing out of both fermenters for 3 days.Made big mess in my ferment frige.
Stuff everywhere.
Question is,"Is this good yeast to save for later brews"?
I usually keep a pickle bottle or two of the used yeast cake in the frige for later and it works ok.Maybe I could save some of this mess with a blow over tube.
Normally I keep it out of the frige till it,s finished the first mad rush but this wouldn,t stop.
Cheers aLL.

Keeping the nice thick creamy tan coloured yeast off the top Is a great idea. It is quite healthy and if you re pitch within a week, it will perform very well.
