* Pitch the dregs directly into a fermenter with that already has beerin it.* Have an air-locked vessel , such as a gallon jug or an Erlenmeyer flask , with an airlock on it with a starter beer (or fresh wort) ready to collect multiple bottle dregs.* Leave If the brewer wants to keep the dregs separate from other cultures, leave the last quarter inch of the beer in the bottle itself, and recap if possible (if , and place it in the refrigerator. If it is notpossible to recap the bottle because it is a corked bottle or a wider diameter than the brewer's bottle capper/caps, cover it the bottle with plastic wrap or tin foil), and place it in the refrigeratora rubber band. Keeping the beer cool should prevent spoilage, although this is not guaranteed without more careful procedures such as purging the bottle with CO2 and capping it.
