I am brewing a nice Scotish ale today, I have about 2 gallons of wort leftover, can I save this for future uses to do my yeast starters with? If so, do I just bottle it and put in the frige or what? Thanks for the help!!!

When you say you have two gallons of wort, are you talking about two gallons of the final runnings from the mash tun, or two gallons left over from the brewpot post boil?GABrewboy said:I am brewing a nice Scotish ale today, I have about 2 gallons of wort leftover, can I save this for future uses to do my yeast starters with?

That would depend on how long you want to keep them, wouldn't it?drengel said:freezing it isn't necesary.

The SG is probably very low if it's the last runnings. I wouldn't bother keeping it.
