Hiya all.
Around the beginning of spring last year I purchased myself a pilsner extract, yeast, hops and LME from my local HB shop. The yeast went in the fridge, the hops in the freezer and the kit and LME into a cupboard in the garage (where I do my brewing).
The intention was to brew the folowing weekend but circumstances changed and I never got around to it. I've heard experiences of brewing with 3yo kits coming out ordinary but these one are relatively young (6 months maybe). I have no idea though what state any of the ingredients would be in. I have a couple of kits that are older (a year maybe)...I just don't have enough bottles or storage space for brewed beer (people keep buying me kits and I can't brew or drink them fast enough :chug: ).
Any idea what a brew might turn out like? I'm going to give it a bash this weekend and fully expect the yeast to be dead but should the other ingredient be fine or am I just making swill? The kit and extra malt have had to endure a nice hot Canberra summer in the garage (in a cupbord though).
Cheers,
Bartron
