Title: How long can you keep a wash?

I have a jelly jar of cider trubb (slurry from bottom of jug) that I have used on a couple of washed rinds. It has imparted a nice reddish hue each time. How long can I keep it in the fridge? It is about 7% ABV, so I am thinking I can use it for a long time. It would be nice to have it always on hand since I love the stinky cheese it produces.

What do you think?

You can keep it for a long long time. At least a year. You could try freezing some in ice cube trays to save some to incubate long after the original is dead and gone.
