Merry Christmas everyone!
I got an AHS Coconut Porter Extract kit for X-Mas and had a few questions since it has sitting in the box in which it was ordered for over a month now.
1) It came with liquid yeast that needed to be refrigerated, but has been stored at room temp since mid-November. I am simply assuming it needs to be replaced correct? I placed it in the fridge this morning, just in case, but I assume it's not worth using to brew with.
2)The Amber Malt Extract came in a white tub, not sealed like a can, this is still good to use after 6 weeks correct? It was stored in the same conditions. I assume it is good, I just know the fresher the better and really want to avoid any off taste.
This will be my 3rd batch brewed and am really aiming to have it be the best ,since the 1st two didn't turn near as good as I wanted. The wort chiller I got today should help as well. Thanks for the help.
