This is my question?? After I mash out...and collect enough wort for my orginal recipe..I would like to mash again..collect my second runnings..and freeze the collected wort for another day...Has anyone done this...

Still not sure how you can accurately calculate the OG of the second beer unless you don't care what it is.
Why do you have to freeze the first batch, just do a double session brew day and pitch both with yeast and be done, it would take awhile for 5 gallons to freeze and I'd imagine even longer to defrost
I think it is possible to do, but you're going have more off flavors from tannins, ive talked to the LHBS about this and they said its not worth wasting hops and yeast, you can however collect some wort and use it to make starters
