Hi HBT.
I have seen similar posts to this, but they have usually concerned longevity of base malt.
I am in a situation where I have some uncrushed specialty grains (crystal, chocolate, black patent) left from my last batch which I brewed a little over a year ago.
I am about to order some new ingredients from my HBS but I'm unsure as to whether I should buy more of the specialty malts since they are one year old.
If I were to brew with them, would it affect the quality of my beer in a negative way, or can I use them just the same? They have been stored in a dark place in plastic bags which have been tied with knots.
Thanks in advance!:rockin:
