Gazzala Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Hi, Can anyone tell me how to determine the BB Date on a tin of liquid malt extract? I have a tin of LME with 099/19 on the bottom - does this mean the date is 9th September 2019? And is that the BB Date, or the Manufacture date? And if it's the Manufacture date - how can I work out the BB date? Is it just to add 2 years? Cheers, Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I just checked one of mine I bought a month or so back - 148/20, so it will be manufacture date. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Agree with JM. I have an Amber Malt can with 205/19 on the base. I am pretty sure it is a Julian Date Code, like their yeasts. Best Before will be two years thereafter. This one would be 24 July 2019 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
