The trick is to keep out the oxygen and have a Co2 environment.
Use non chlorinated water.
Use canning salt.
Don't over wash the product.
Keep the product under the fluid.
If and if you think you want to test them use a freshly cleaned fork to do it with.
You shouldn't even be wanting to test them for at least 6 to 8 weeks.
Mine have went for months.
