Title: Old grain
Post by: auralabuse on May 26, 2015, 03:04:07 PM
I know this question is a bit general but how old is too old for grain.  I have an all grain mash recipe about 6 months now.  It's a pilsner recipe,  not sure if I should just chuck it or give it a try.  The hops look dried out but I have fresh vac packed hops in the fridge good to go to replace those.
