I have an extra can of LME - what should I do?

When I was out buying stuff for my most recent brew, I bought 2 cans of Briess Pilsen Light LME...or so I thought. When I got home I saw that one of them was a can of Golden Light LME. Unfortunately, extracts at my lhbs aren't returnable, so I just kept it and bought another can of Pilsen Light.

Now I've got this extra can of LME. What kind of shelf life can I expect from it? I'm not sure when my next brew day is.......although next week is payday. I could possibly have another brewday. Any suggestions for a brew I can do with this can and something where I don't really need watch the fermentation temperature (is that even possible with homebrewing?) since my minifridge ferm chamber will be occupied for at least 3 weeks.

You didn't say how big the cans are, but I would just save it and use it in the next brew or save it for starters.

Save it for your next batch. It'll last for quite a while, like months.

Ahh sorry about that. The cans were 3.3lbs each.

Right on right on. Looks like I'll try to form a recipe for my next brew day using it then! Thanks
