Hi all, I am hoping to get a brew on this coming Monday and I have just checked and my Jar of malt extract went out of date in June 2015. Just wondering if this would still be okay to make a starter with?
Cheers DC

Re: Using out of date malt extract for starter
I'd howl at the idea of using anything but the freshest extract for brewing, but can't see any reason why not to use it for a starter.DC wrote:Hi all, I am hoping to get a brew on this coming Monday and I have just checked and my Jar of malt extract went out of date in June 2015.
