I have an Irish Stout kit that is about 5 years old. I am wondering what is still salvagable and what should be replaced. the ingredient list is
Dark malt extract
maltodextrin
crushed crystal malt
hops
crushed black patent
crushed roasted barley
priming sugar
yeast
I was figuring on replacing the yeast (obviously) and perhaps the hops.
Everthing is vacuum sealed, and this is a Brewer's Best kit.
Although things are sealed, I know they won't stay fresh forever and its been a long time, perhaps too long for some of them. It was stored in a dry cool basement, aka the 'Cellar' for the whole time. I would appreciate any suggestions, even pitching the whole thing and starting over.
