Any good?

[steev]

Was just given 2 cans of Alexander's pale malt extract...is this stuff any good?

You can make stuff with it that's good.

Its 2 4lb cans should I just make a 5 gallon batch with it or is that too much?

It's 100% 2-row, so it can make a great base for many beer styles. This was my go-to LME when I was doing extract. Add some steeping grains and your choice of hops, and you can make just about any American beer style you want. 8# will give you an OG of about 1.055 in a 5 gallon batch.
