Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!

I would toss any ingredients that came with it. The hops are old now, and the yeast is probably not very viable any more.
Done. I just started a batch with a fresh box of Muslix, and dumped in some yogurt as a starter... going for a cross between a Schwartzbier and a Leipziger Gose!
But seriously I will look for a replacement grain/hop/yeast kit.

Toronto Brewing sells a wide variety of pre-made kits with fresh yeast (typicaly dry yeast, but you can get liquid if you want), hops and the appropriate malts, already milled. I'd look into those if I were you.[/i]

Thanks L - and sorry Mods to go way off topic, I will drag my noob ass over to BT Home Brewing forum for my pathetic one-gallon first attempt. Maybe I'll go for something no-fail that requires less maturation...
