Hello: Not only can you, but you SHOULD keep it in the 'fridge between uses
if you don't use it every 1-2 days.
I use a mason-type jar with a bail lid with NO rubber fitting. That makes
it covered, but loose enough to allow the forming gasses to escape. I
believe one can use glass or pottery, but not metal for a container. I
presume plastic should be ok, too, but I don't really know.
