Sooo.... Some family wanted me to show them how to brew. I decided to use a kit, instead of using one of my recipes or one from beersmith, so they could use one if they wanted to try themselves. I was hesitant to by one because of the age the kit could be. Aaaand my fears were confirmed. I bought the kit from a LHBS where the temp was about 70F.
Looking at getting a decent end product without throwing the whole kit out.
Brewers Best
Munich Helles, $36.90
Yeast (brewferm Lager) date: 01/08/2014, iffy but getting another sachet.
CBW Pilsen Light LME(plastic container): 0?/08/2013, Don't trust it.
Hops, German Hersbrucker: No date, least as old as 2014ish, Getting new hops.
Aromatic Malt: date same as hops, not sure.
Munich Malt: date same as hops, not sure.
DME: date same as hops, not worried.
Priming sugar: not worried.
Thoughts on replacing ingredients???
Thanks!
EDIT: LHBS is 1/2 hour away.
