Storing Wort for Later Use
By using the methods of home canning, you can make and store wort for use whenever you want.
Home canning is a simple and effective process for preserving starter wort in handy, ready to use, quantities. Of course, you can just cook up a batch of starter and let it cool to bring your dormant yeast to life, but that’s one more thing to remember to do in a busy brewing process. Also, canned wort is sterile and already at the correct temperature (if stored properly) for yeast propagation, so it is both safe and convenient.
