I have some Magnum and Columbus pellets I was thinking about using in my next homebrew batch, but they have been opened for a couple months now. I put them in ziploc bags when I opened them, but I forgot to put them in the freezer. Am I safe using these (taste wise), or should I just toss them and buy new?
 
Smell them. If they still smell pretty good, chances are they'll do fine. I'm sure they lost a little bit or potential, but a few months isn't that bad. Next time, make sure you put them in the freezer.
