Can unboiled wort be frozen?

[Jeltz]

I want to try out some different hops and maybe even experiment with some different herbs and plants for bittering and/or aroma, gruit style.

So the thought occurred that could I mash some pale malt to 1.045ish then freeze 5L batches for boiling later and fermenting in DJ's?

yes you can , normal clean and sterile etc , some do this when brewed so they have wort for a starter for other brews :thumb:

Years ago we made a Guinness clone then demijohned 5 separate gallons and added a different yeast to each. We ended up with 5 completely different beers.

we mash grains to 1.040 then freeze in 2 litre pet bottles ideal for starting yeast off

Right time to eat some space into the freezer then!

Or bring to the boil for 10 mins and 'chill cube' in 5l plastic bottles - saves on freezer space! Then do the full boil at your leisure...
