I had a guy give me all his old home brew equip and supplies last night. Said he had to quit brewing some time ago and it was free so SWEEEET! With what he gave me was 7 lbs. of DME, a packet of Nottingham yeast dated to expire in 2006, and 4 oz. of hops. Im pretty sure the hops are gonna be ok as they are vacuum packed, how about the other stuff? I am assuming 2005-06 is how old this stuff is. There were many other goodies there too, 5gal carboy, books, brushes, sanitizer, bottle caps, bottle capper, floating thermometer.....and other items. All in all in a great score for free. So should I use the old DME and yeast to make a starter and see if its viable then make a batch of beer with this stuff?
