Should I just thaw in flask and pitch yeast or boil first? Thanks.
Frozen starter wort, how to prepare?

I boil first, but I'm not sure it's necessary. The bacterial load will be lower if you boil, but freezing will kill like 99.9% of the bacteria.

Since you have to boil it anyway why not do it before freezing?
Personally I like to can wort but that is just me.

Guess I should have elaborated. It's extra cream ale wort I couldn't get in my primary so I froze some thinking I'd use it for a starter.
Boil it. I store mine in 2 gallon freezer bags. Who knows what is in them from the factory. Anyway, it can't hurt, and better safe than sorry.
