MattV5 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Hey guys Just getting back into brewing again after a stint on the sidelines (laziness) I have some old coopers tins of the syrup in the cupboard, I understand that it would be ideal to use "fresh tins" but if i grabbed some new yeast do you think that it would be okay to use considering its only a best before? we are talking late 2013?

antiphile Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I wouldn't like to use them. I'm sure there's unlikely to be any infection problems, but they will have darkened considerably and the flavours might not be what you expect. But I wouldn't throw them away either. If you ever start making yeast starters (like many of us do), they will still be good nutrition for the little beasties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Welcome to the forum, Matt! THE BEER TRIANGLE: Thorough Sanitation + Fresh Ingredients + Appropriate Ferment Temp' = QUALITY BEER Discard the old brew cans. The way I see it; when getting back into making your own beer, you want to give yourself the best chance of a good outcome first up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
