Using 2 Week Old LME for yeast starter?

BornInaHoller · May 13, 2009

I have some leftover LME from a brew I made 2 weeks ago. I don't have a vacuum sealer; so, I squeezed the air out of it, put the lid back on (it's a 1/2 gallon milk style jug) and stuck it in the fridge. I plan to brew Yuri Rage's recipe "Thunderstruck Pumpkin Ale" Friday. Would I get any off-flavors from using this 2 week old LME as a yeast starter for my pumpkin ale? :drunk:

It will work fine.

Good! Thanks for the assurance! I didn't think using such a small amount would add any off-flavors.

I have been using two year out of date, old Mr Beer cans, LME for my starters and its been fine.

I may be missing something, but how did you squeeze all the air out of a milk jug? Was there enough LME to go to the top?

^^^I guess I should have been more specific. I squeezed all the air I could out of it. No it is not completely to the top.
