Thanks much!

Thanks! I actually waited on getting yeast so thankfully no need to replace that. The grains were all stored in a cardboard box in our apartment in San Francisco so it should have been relatively cool. Still, I'll give it the old taste test to see if they're stale. Regarding the hops, does it...

Hi folks, Right after I bought ingredients for a double IPA last March, my work schedule went crazy and I haven't been able to find the time to brew the damn thing. I think I'm finally about ready for brew day and I'm trying to determine if I should get new ingredients. All of the hops have...
