Does anyone know if wort has a shelf life if stored unfermented in the refrigerator for a few weeks to a few months? I was considering making a bunch of smash worts stored in a big chest refrigerator and fermenting different ratios mixed together of the course of a few weeks to a few months.
My idea was to figure out the best combination of grains by simply mixing worts together and doing a handful of 1 gallon fermentations. Then the best tasting beers to come out of that test would be the starting point for my grain bill. This might greatly expedite creating a great beer recipe otherwise you are just guessing based on what you know of the grains and waiting a few weeks to see if it turned out good or not.
