Malt extract life

[loanrangie]

I have a can of cascade extract that bought in Tassie years ago, cant find a useby date and the can was slightly pressurised but tastes fine after opening.
Worth the risk or dump it ?

[loanrangie]

Nobody ? doesnt matter, malt tasted fine and is now happily bubbling away in the laundry. Yeast was dead but picked up another sachet on the way home last night.

I wanted to say it would be fine, but I didn't want you coming after me at Wombat if I was wrong.

I wouldn't risk it........ It might ferment.

.....oh, wait. [tonguewink]

I'll save a sample for you.

Right. Now I have to get a car together. I may have to listen to Marcus and drag out the Series.

If it's in a can it's fine, just so you know for next time, sorry I missed this I'm a bit busy trip prepping and I haven't touched my homebrew stuff for ages, been really slack with the brewing and visiting here too.

A lot don't, I set it up about 5 or 6 years ago no make that over 7 years ago.

[loanrangie]

So pretty much all the brews i had done before had finished fermenting in around 5 days, this one has been going for 12 days [bighmmm].
I know it takes longer during cooler temps but there is no sing of it slowing down, should i turn the heater strap off ?

[Gordie]

Haven't brewed for over a decade...but yes it used to take longer in winter....and I used to bottle once it reached the required specific gravity.

[loanrangie]

Well after 2 1/2 weeks its finally stopped fermenting, i think the fresher yeast re-activated the old yeast and why it took so long.
Bottling time tomorrow.

[loanrangie]

All bottled, 38 stubbies and 15 long necks - now the waiting game .

[Gordie]

That's why I used to keep 52 dozen longnecks in stock...I never had to wait!!! [tonguewink]

[loanrangie]

I have another brew to start once I find some more bottles.

[loanrangie]

Picked up another 50x long necks off gumtree so will start another brew tonight.[bigsmile1]

[Gordie]

Picked up another 50x long necks off gumtree so will start another brew tonight.[bigsmile1]Just in time for summer.....

[loanrangie]
