Was my kit still good?

[brewnovice]

I bought a Brewers Best kit that I received sometime during the first week of February, but didn't get around to brewing it until this past Wednesday. I had refrigerated the yeast, but nothing else. Should I be worried about the LME or hops having gone bad without refrigeration? Can it be dangerous, or would boiling/fermentation eliminate any of those problems? The yeast seems to have worked fine as the airlock was bubbling.

nothing dangerous about it. your lme might be a bit stale and the hops probably lost some potency. it'll probably still be a decent beer though

I wouldn't think lme would stale that quickly but I don't know for sure. Everything is fine, brew it up.

Does Brewer's Best LME come in a can? If so, a month or so isn't going to change it that much.

Those kits IIRC are good for a year. You'll be fine.
