Brew Kit question

[Scooba]

I bought an all grain kit from Austin Homebrew with the grains already crushed back in October. I got extremely busy with life and never brewed it. I even made a starter and it sat in the fridge for awhile and then chunked it. Do you think the grains are still good? They are sealed in the original bag and kept in a cabinet. I was gonna order another vial of yeast if the grains and hops are still good. Thanks in advance!!

The grains should be fine if sealed up. If the hops were frozen or fridges they're fine as well so get some fresh yeast and go get brewing!

My hops are vacuum packed but not in fridge. Is that a problem?

If hops aren't stored in the freezer,they can break down faster.
