So the searches brought up a few results but were typically dealing with a 1-2 month time frame so since this is more of a 7-8 month time frame I was hoping to get some experienced input.
Midwest is doing a buy one get one on their winter ale and happy holiday ale. The happy holiday I was wanting to order anyway so I can get it brewed and have it ready for Christmas/New Years but the winter ale needs 4-6 months before it's ready and the reviews suggest that it's worth it to wait the 6 months. With that in mind, would it be ok to order now and wait until May or June to brew it? I know the hops need to go in the freezer and the yeast I'll just order fresh when I brew it but I'm not sure of the shelf life on the grains and extract.
I did do a live chat with Midwest and they told me as long as the hops go in the freezer then 6-8 months should be ok for everything else but I wouldn't mind a couple more opinions on this before I place the order.
Thanks in advance.
