Hi,
Did a test of a new AG batch sparge system with a bag of crushed (11lb 2 row, 0.5 Munich, 0.5 Cystal 40). These grains were crushed in Dec of 09 but stored in dry basement in winter and AC basement in summer.
I was testing out a new PID controller for my electric kettle/mash and used these grains rather than tossing.
The wort seems pretty nice, Grav came out to 1.048 and tastes and smells AWESOME. I have plenty of hops to make this happen and have a London 1098 from last year I didnt use in the fridge. Should I go for it or toss?
Tie up a fermenter is the only downside and of course the risk of using old crap.
Any thoughts??
