As the title states, can I freeze liquid extract and thaw prior to brew day? I went on a spending spree with AHS and I bought too many of their $20 kits. :mug:

I bought an AHS Peach Wheat mini-mash kit and I'm debating on pitching it onto a Kolsch yeast cake instead of the purposed California V (WPL051) yeast that's called in the recipe. Thoughts? RDWHAHB? :tank:
