Here's a question for those who've brewed more extract kits than I have... I was at my LHBS and bought a very cheap can of Cooper's Stout. It was on sale, when I turned over the can I saw the expiry was November '08. I mentioned this, but the person in the store said that date didn't really matter - as long as the can wasn't bulging (ie: the contents had begun to expand), it was okay.
I've always read than fresh is best for extract, but it was such a good deal I took the chance anyway.
So what does the expiry date on the can really mean? Did I buy a dud, or should I go ahead and give this batch a test?
Thanks,
Jay
