My brother last Christmas was given a beer making kit. The person who gave it to him obviously knows nothing about beer because he just gave him the kit which had the grains, DME, hops and yeast. Obviously, my brother never got to brewing because he never had any of the equipment. I just recently moved back home and saw that my brother still had this stuff hanging around, hops in the freezer, yeast in the fridge and DME and grains still in the box. My question is, would these still work or are they too old? I know yeast and hops can stay good for a while if they are kept refrigerated, but can they stay for 10 months? Is there any chance it would still work or should I just forget it since I am sure it was only like a $30 kit?
