I also use glass jars to store my yeast (with fermented beer on top), but I use aluminum foil to cap them, held on with a rubber band.

I use a very specific procedure of picking up the fermentor and moving it in an orbital fashion until the remaining beer has swirled up the yeast cake into the liquid, then I pour it into a sanatized half gallon mason jar.

Is that a clockwise or counterclockwise direction?  I try one direction and the reverse it halfway through to keep the yeast from getting too dizzy.... :o[ftp]

That's my method too but for other reasons. I can't think what they could possibly be, but it makes me seem mysterious if I don't fully agree all the time.
