Went to the not-so-local-HBS last weekend and got the ingredients for my Soontobenamed Nut Brown Ale. Long story short, last night I looked at the can of Coopers Amber LME for an expiration date of some sorts. I didn't see an expiration date but I DID see what looked to be a code date: 137/07. Having worked in the food manufacturing industry many many moons ago I'm guessing that this LME was manufactured on the hundred-thirty-seventh day of 2007. I could be (and hope) that I am wrong.
Question is, does anybody have a can of Coopers LME handy that can look on the bottom and check the code date? I'd like to know if I did indeed use 18 month old LME in my beer. If so, it may be time to go online and order from here on.
ETA: I don't know why I didn't think of this in the first place. I emailed Coopers to see if indeed that number is a Julian code date.
