A buddy of mine gave me his extract brewing equipment and included in it was a big foil-sealed bag of More Beer Liquid Malt Extract that Im sure he has had for well over a year. Do you all thing its worth it to try and make an extract Pale Ale with it? I have the hops and all I need is probably pick up a vial of San Diego Super. Just wondering if you think this thing will be will be entirely unpalatable.
It will make beer just fine. It won’t taste like what it would taste when it was fresh.
Pick a different, darker, maltier style than the original and use it for that if you want to use it.
Pitch a lot of yeast.
Perhaps I could try doing Jamil’s 70 or 80 Shilling Recipe in Extract with Specialty Grains. Was thinking about doing that.
I used old LME for starters.
This, but I tend to stick with DME.
This was out of date stuff a guy had gotten, and you could donate to the club. It was very dark Pilsner LME. Made good starters, that I decanted off of, back in the day.
Save it for starters only.
Alright, think I will follow the advice and save for starters. Thanks all.
