O.K. I have been out of homebrewing for about the last 4 or 5 years (don't ask. Divorce, moving, kids, etc) and have decided to get back into it.
Yes, I have ordered fresh ingredients for a couple batches, but my question is this. I have two old cans of extract (Mountmelick export ale which exhibits swelling, and a Laglander light lager) and some older DME.
Would it be dangerous to use these ingredients since there will be a full 1 hour boil? Or is the only real danger, making a bad batch of beer. I kind of hate to throw them out if there is no real danger.
Thanks for your input.
