Rbt.F Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 So, I've come across a can of this long-discontinued malt extract and am wondering if anyone can give me some ideas for making a batch of beer from this can. The expiration date is in 2004, but the can looks good and I'm thinking it'll be a worthwhile endeavour to brew this ol' boy up. Thank you in advance!

Biermoasta Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Not sure for recipe ideas, because I never got to use that can. But make sure you purchase a new packet of yeast, as the one in the can is certainly past its use by date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbt.F Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Aye, Brother Biermoasta--the yeast is truly long gone, and so is the original recipe that came with the can. I'm just wondering what sort of mixture of dry malt and hops would accomodate this can. I suppose I could simply just boil the can in the liquour and call it a day, and it may come to that, as I'd hate to muck this up with an experimental mixture of ingredients.

Hairy Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 PB2 puts his Nut Brown Ale recipe in this thread: Nut Brown Ale It is a toucan - Nut Brown Ale & Australian Pale Ale made to 23 litres. Although you will be missing one side of the BEER TRIANGLE - fresh ingredients. Let us know how it turns out. I am interested in hearing the outcome of using malt seven years past its best before date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
