Title: FREE 20kg Hook Head Minch Lager Malt (production date July 2016)
Post by: Hefeman on August 05, 2018, 09:28:32 PM
I incorrectly received a 25kg bag of Lager Malt due to a labelling mixup. I ended up getting to keep the bag for free. However, 18 months later there is still about 20kg left and it will go to waste unless I pass it on. No doubt it is past it's best already.

Sticker shows Prod Date: July '16. No expiry or BBE shown, I would assume BBE late 2017.

If you want to collect it from Douglas, PM me. I'd ideally like to get rid of it by tomorrow.

Cheers,
Hefeman.

Believe it or not, malted grains are still viable as seed. OK, you will only get 10 or 15% or less germination but they will grow!

If it's still available I'll take it off you tomorrow evening in Douglas?
