I've been keeping yeast stores pretty much following this method
http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...?showtopic=1434
for the last six or so months. I haven't gotten around to using one yet but cracked one open this morning.
There is a mild but signficant vinegar odour coming from the bottle. They've been stored in old 600 ml Gatorade bottles in the fridge since decanting off the original starter. I checked a few of the other bottles I've got stored and they have a similar odour. The bottles had a good soack in napisan and a decent sit in iodophor no rinse. I've got no reason to suspect any infection issues.
Anybody had similar experience and more important will the yeast be OK to use???
