Are these hops still good? Package date 1994

[Brickman]

I was cleaning out some old boxes and came across some of my old homebrew stuff. In it was a package of hops. What do you think. Should I go ahead and use them? Packaged in 1994.

On the plus side I found 10 boxes of 22 oz bombers from New Belgium. They are from when they used to give the used ones away for free to homebrewers.

Yeah, i think its safe to say, those hops are no good.

If you have any sour beer in your future, they would be perfect.

Make a nice cheesey pils.

Yes, I believe the hops they were growing at that time were expected to last at least 25 years, so they should be fine.

Just 2 ounces. Found a whole bunch of dextrine too. There was also some Irish moss but I think it is going to get pitched.

Lambic and Sour beers use only old hops. You can brew with them or probably sell them on eBay.
