I have been interested in brewing my own beer for awhile and found a nice deal on Craigslist to try it out. I purchased a complete Cooper's brewing kit for $40. The kit was never used and included everything. Anyways, I went ahead and prepared my first batch last night using the ingredients in the kit. I followed the instructions to the T, sanitized everything, water at the right temperature, etc. After I got everything finished, I noticed the ingredients had a expiration date of 1 year ago. Is this going to effect the outcome of the beer? My main concern is the yeast being to old and not doing its job. Anyone used dry yeast the was more then a year old? Thanks.
