can I save post boil wort for starters later ?

There ya go , question is in the title ?

being clean and sanitary is the key

I don't can my starter wort- but I freeze it and then bring it to a boil briefly before using it. It works well, and I've done it quite a few times. It's not any easier than using DME to make a starter, but it works when I don't have any DME on hand.

What type of vessel do you freeze the wort in?

Thanks all

^, that's what I do, I throw it in a ziplock bag and freeze until needed.

I have 1.5 quart round Tupperware pitchers- perfect!

I do the same thing. I usually pour the whole leftover gunk from te bottom of the kettle into a growler and then let it settle for a day. Pour off the clear stuff and freeze. After thawing I dilute it down to 1.040, give it a quick boil and it's ready to go.z

I use a stovetop pressure cooker to boil 1 quart mason jars filled with 80 grams of dme each and add water up to the fill line. This works great because it's quick and easy and theres no chance of botulism or anything like that. I use one for 5 gal and step up two for 10. Makes 7 at a time.
