Will a MR BEER LME can go bad?

[Lalo]

I hate to throw stuff away so I tried various bread recipes. I found the best use for old LME is to bake German "VOLLKORNBROT" bread. It requires no kneading and spent grain--dry or wet-- works great in it. I recommend using it for this purpose!

Yea, don't do this. Brewed a couple weeks ago and it is pretty terrible.

I guess it was worth a shot? who knows, I definitively now know what "extract twang" tastes like. I guess theres that.

If its old just throw it away or use it to Bake?

I agree, I hate to waste anything. Even 5 year old LME (from a subpar Mr beer kit to begin with)

Im a real glutton for punishment.

Boil hot dogs and steam brats in it.

So I got some free cans.
I have a April 2021 Octoberfest
2020 Octoberfest
2019 Light.

I'm thinking of hitting the most recent Obtoberfest with some Kveik Voss.

I thought maybe hitting the Light with saison yeast to dry it out? Maybe mash some wheat as well?

The older can of Octoberfest maybe some Belgian yeast.

I'll add some dextrose to each one to help dry out as well.

Thoughts?

Bumping up the alcohol with sugar or honey, adding a bunch of hops ( I've re-used dry hops for experimental batches like this) and adding oak chips in the keg can all help to mask old extract flavor.
