I ended up with too much wort in my kettle so I ran off about a gallon into a small kettle that I covered and put in my fridge. I normally make starters with DME, but I'm thinking that I can just boil this 'unboiled' wort and make a starter with it.
BUT - i'm worried the wort might spoil or something or maybe will have an off flavor from sitting in the fridge.
I know Granite State Breweries ship unboiled wort to their local brew houses and do the boil and hops and fermentation in the local breweries. Therefore, this is obviously possible to do.
I'm wondering if any of you have done this? If it works well, i'll probably do it frequently.
Your thoughts are appreciated. We are in a never ending quest to cut costs and yeast costs are the worst imo.
Thanks.
