Going through some old recipes I came across one we really liked and want to brew again. In the notes I wrote that I siphoned off 2 quarts of wort before I pitched the yeast. I put this wort in a growler in the refrigerator until it was time to bottle. I took the growler out of the refrigerator the day before bottling to bring it up to room temperature then just added it to my bottling bucket like any other primer.
The thing is that this was over 6 years ago and I don't take real good notes. Does that sound about right? Is there something I'm missing? How do I know for sure how much wort I should hold back to pitch later?
Thanks.
