Okay, I came upon a score of some brew equipment from a guy that works in my building. Its basically duplicates of everything I already have but there was a few new gadgets I didn't have.That's neither here or there because what's troubling me is an UNOPENED kit he never used.
He can't pinpoint when he bought this over the internet, but its a range between 2-4 years.
Has anyone ever bought from Bobbrews.com in the past at all? That site is now closed and it looks like the guys out of business altogether. I read where they had a physical store that used to be called Brewers Rendezvous in Downey, CA that Bobbrews bought, and then eventually closed to do online business only. I guess I'm just stretching here hoping maybe someone sees this and says "oh ya I bought from Bobbrews back in 2009". I'm going to brew it regardless but was looking for an idea if maybe I should jus get some new LME for it or roll with the 6lbs I got?
BTW - It's a Bobbrews - Wee Drop of Heavy (Scottish Ale)
I assume all the grains are probably no big deal to use whether its 2 or 4 years right? It calls for Fuggle hops so I'll definitely get some fresher hop pellets but everything else seem okay to brew on with?
1lb crushed 60L Crystal, 4 oz crushed chocolate, 1lb crushed Carapils, and 3 oz crushed peat smoked barley.
