I've brewed with some cans 2yrs out of date.I'm more concerned about ruining my beer than dieing... B)
What? And secondly I was thinking of using it for starters.... Any opinions,Use it for yeast starters - about a tablespoon would be enough for a 500mL
starter, put remainder into tupperware tubs and into freezer (they probably
won't actually but enough to keep bugs away).
It's simple, if you want **** beer, use **** ingredients.
I don't think it will kill you as I have heard people doing it before, but do you really want to save $10 and drink completely crap beer.

I like this idea. Throw it in with the infamous toucan stout/dark mix and you're laughingIf you're going to use it, use it in a Stout. Something that will at least try and hide any staleness and the darkening of the wort wont matter. Throw some fresh grain in to the mix and you might get away with it. My 2c
Ok now it makes sense.
The starter I made with this is bubbling away looking pretty strong but its a bit dark for the beer I plan on making so I think ill cold crash it and pour off the wort. One night should be long enough to produce enough yeast shouldn't it?
Starter was 150ml extract, 800ml water, 2 hop pellets boiled for 15min then added 300ml of cold sanitised water then cooled in ice bath. Put into sanitised 2L port bottle, shook the crap out of it, pitched yeast(t-58) and swirled and covered with sanitised all foil. Have been swirl every hour or two. It's going into a 4.2% kolsch style(I know not traditional style) about 25L which I will be fermenting in an ice bath since its so damn hot.What size starter? What yeast did you start with? What beer type/strength is it going into? other wise your question might as well be... how long is a piece of string?
Give some info & more experienced brewers will be able to give you the advice you seek.
