Freeze fresh juice buckets

[brottman]

I will be getting several fresh juice buckets soon. I want to ferment them in my temp controlled cooler by only have room to do one at a time. Will I do any damage to the must if I freeze it so that I can thaw and ferment as space frees up?

No damage, but be sure to measure brix and total acidity before you freeze them. When they defrost later you can end up with a thick mass of cream of tartar that can make your measured brix and acidity seem low. Stir this in well before fermenting and they typically will redissolve during the ferment.
