Out of date kits...

Post by muckandmagic » Fri May 09, 2008 6:54 am

I picked up a few things off freecycle the other week including some Boots bitter kits. Only problem is that they are about 10 years out of date...

Rubbish bin or fermenting bin? ;)

someone else will give you a better answer but from what i have heard before...

if the cans are not disformed (swollen) or pierced you can give them a go but swap out the original yeast for something more likely to be viable... or i suppose make a starter in advance to check that the yeast is alright.
