Brewing extract expired - brew or no brew?

[Rafael]

Hi all,

I have a can of Coopers Preachers Hefe Wheat that expired in mid April this year, is it safe to brew or do I risk wasting time and efforts?

If yes, brew it - any suggestions? I'm thinking to stick to the recommended addition of 1kg coopers dry malt, any other nice add-ons?

If not, throw it away - pls say so :-)


Thanks!
Raf

Hi!
Brew, by all means, but throw away the yeast that came with the kit and buy fresh yeast.

Thanks, good to hear! Which yeast shall I buy? I've used WB-06 in the past but for another wheat extract, would that suit?

Hi!
I've never used it but it seems to be appropriate.
Lallemand do a Munich Wheat yeast, but if you were pleased with the results of WB-06, stick with it.
