Hi Pam, yes you can store instant yeast in a jar in the fridge. I also freeze mine for long term storage. I usually just store mine in plastic containers, I haven't noticed any issues using plastic vs. glass.

I have read the active yeast should go to the fridge, does it apply the same to instant yeast? Is it better to put it on a glass jar? Thank you.

Yes, unless you're using fresh yeast the measurements of 1 packet of yeast will equal 2 1/4 teaspoons.
