Long story, but I've stumbled into some very old LME and hops -- I think at least 3 years.
6 lbs Extra Pale + 1 Lb Munich in an Austin Homebrew screwtop plastic container (presumably not airtight?)
9 lbs "German pils" in what look to be vacuum-sealed foil bags
0.5 oz Sterling in a vacuum-sealed package
0.75 Magnum in a vacuum-sealed package
1 oz Hallterau in a vacuum-sealed package
~0.5 oz leftover Columbus wrapped up in a ziploc bag
~0.5 oz leftover Northern Brewer wrapped up in a ziploc bag
The LME's been in a fridge and the hops in the freezer. The jar the hops are in still smell quite strongly.
Obvious question is: What, if any, of this might still be useable? At a minimum I was hoping maybe I could use the LME for making yeast starters.
