Wasn't sure where to post this?
I have a friend who gave me a beer in a bag kit from Clydesdale brewery that he said has been hanging in his garage for years. I figured what the heck, I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, I am out some water and some iodophor.
It was basically add hot water, shake the hell out of it, add cold water and yeast. I rehydrated the yeast and suprisingly it looked healthy so I went for it. the entire thing was sealed and had a cap on it that was supposed to keep everything sanitary until used.
My question is should I have any concerns with the fact that it sat so long as far as anything that could be unhealthly to drink? I don't have great hope that it will be a delicious beer, but don't want it to make me sick. How long should ingredients stay good? Especially hanging in a garage through temperature changes.
