    Out Of Date Kits - Any Issues?

    I was given two tins of out of date kits. One was 29 Nov 2009 and the other 18 Sept 2010. The tins were in very good condition. Some one told me the molasses in the tins would have gone off. Would this be right? Can you still use them pitching with fresh yeast?
