Hello,
I noticed that mason jars are a popular storage container for harvested yeast. Easy to work with, easy to find, and cheap! I've been reading Yeast: The Practical Guide to Beer Fermentation, and they mention the dangers associated with using glass containers with lids tightened, and how the can explode due to pressure build up. Has anyone had problems with using glass for storage? Does anyone use plastic instead?
Just curious on what others have experienced.
Thanks,
Dan
