Old Can of Muntons Old Ale LME

Ok so I have a can of this stuff that I forgot about and it has been sitting around for probably at least 6 months. I'd hate to see it go to waste, but is it even worth it to use? Would I only end up with some stale-tasting beer?

Fresher the better of course, but 6 months is not long for a can. Brew it! Add fresh hops and specialty grains for best results IMO.

As wilserbrewer said, I would steep some grains, use fresh hops, etc. You should be fine

Buddy of mine won a medal with a beer he made from a coupe kits that were lost in the basement for years. I recently did a stout using a can of Moutmellick that I had in the garage since '07... steeped some grains, used 3# DME for the rest of the fermentables. Beer is very nice.

Sounds good, thanks guys! I've got some warrior hops that I've been meaning to use, maybe this will be the one.
