Pre-Made Wort for Starters

[krockett]

I always run off two litres of extra wort for starters (and maybe an extra 250/500 ml to grow initial small amount of yeast) - it comes out at 1.025/1.030.

This should rise when boiled prior to pitching as the volume drops by a quarter

I dont boil this before freezing; just chill it fast and into the freezer. No butulism or problems to date.

That's a great tip and one I'm going to start using, as I usually have about 2-3L in the bottom of my keggle after a mash that just gets wasted.
