How long are Magnotta kits good for?

Post by Timmy »

I bought one quite a while ago and due to unforseen circumstances it's been left to sit. Well things have settled down a little now and I'm wondering if it' s okay to use still? I think the one I have is the Pale. I was planning on buying some extra hops and brewing this batch(never brewed before)

Or is it best to go and get a new one?

I am in a similar situation... I was planning to just use it but that may not be smart.

just use them. if they have some age on them dont throw any extra ingredients (money) into it. you've already got the wort and yeast, you might as well try to turn it into beer.

or, if you dont want to ferment them out, you could bottle the wort from the kit and use it to make starter down the road.

I think they're dated... I'd give them a call.
