I used to brew a lot and have been across the country from all my brewing supplies and did not have the time or equipment.
I am now back in the same state as my equipment and just started a batch of some nut brown ale from a freshly purchased kit. Amongst my brewing equipment was some ingredients for brewing as well. All the ingredients must be 7-10 years old. Should I use any of it?
Here is a list of ingredients
DME sealed in plastic
Syrup extract in jugs
Specialty grains -some in sealed bags some not
Maltose
Finings
A bag of cracked grains to be used in my first attempt at an all grain batch.
Right away I think throwing away the cracked grains. If I am going to make the effort to try an all grain then I do not want to risk it not coming out right anyways. How about the other materials. Are any of the others worth using?
