In the past, when I was really poor, if I was going to start another batch
within the month, I would use half a packet, then fold it closed tightly and
keep in the refrigerator. I never had any trouble doing this. But yeast is
cheap and I am not as poor as I use to be and then there is the fact that I
have not started a batch smaller than three gallons in many years. ;o)
