Save back for bottleing

[flyingwmelon]

With my next batch I would like to try to save back some wort for priming at bottleing. My quetion is how much do I save back? It is a partial mash kit from AHS that is a big beer (10%+) that I want to brew now so that it is ready for the winter. Am I crazy for wanting to try this? Thanks for any help that might be given.

Yes, you are crazy. Isn't this a great hobby?

that is something i'd like to start doing as well. But easier then saving it, plan your brew days.

When I do a brew day i'm brewing one batch, kegging or bottling another and moving another to secondary. doing that you'd have fresh wert and a hell of a starter if you want to pitch onto a yeast cake.
