Only reason I ask is, as some who have read my posts know, I received some free stuff that is approx 5 years old and brewed a batch of beer with it just to see what it will be. I used 2 oz of the old hops for bitterness, but I don't know what kind they were as they were unlabeled and used 2 oz of cascade hops at the end of the boil. The fermenting fumes smell hoppy as all get out. I will drink it no matter what but what do the experts think considering these pellet hops were vacuum packed but 5 or so years old? BTW, Im not a huge fan of real hopped up beers. Oh well, maybe?
