My yeast always goes in the ice box. First bag of the distillers yeast I have owned. Aint opened it yet. Noticed it was in the refrigerated section where it stays at the homebrew shoppe. Previously used small packets or jars. Thinking of cutting off a corner to use some then refastening with a chip clip. Maybe inside of a baggy to be safe. The only nutrient I have seen is some totally inert stuff which comes with a screw on cap. Would just keep it dry.
