Sorry to ask, BUT i have looked around the net for a while and got a very mixed responce..
I have recently purchased a bulk lot of stuff from a deceased estate, 7 fermenters/capper etc etc
inside a few of the fermenters i found some pretty old tins of malt extract, the oldest being best before/used by 2004 (8 years old)
From what i have read so far people say,
a/ bin the malt extract
b/ use the malt extract, ditch the attached yeast and get some fresh yeast
c/ use the malt extract, ditch the attached yeast and get some fresh yeast and get some extra hops
d/ brew with 2 cans of malt extract instead of using sugars (?????? that sounds strange to me???)
well these four options have left me confused...
can you guys help out a little, let me know about your experiences with out of date malt extract
i feel like there is something i could get from these old malt extract tins in a good way..
