Yes, that's a basic homofermentive culture, you can propagate it forward. Use a target incubation temp of 82-85F, and use or refrigerate when pH is 4.6.

Because if you wait longer, the concentration of the bacteria changes and so does your pH curve of the make. When using DVI you have to do it as instructed. mother culture is different.
