Out of date kit...

[ClownPrince]

A friend of mine is considering starting homebrew. He's spotted this offer on Beerhawk:
https://www.beerhawk.co.uk/brewery-in-a-box-essential-starter-kitWhich looks to be great for a newbie. His only concern is that the included kit is out of date.
Obviously he doesn't know how out of date it is, but if it's say 6 months out should it all be going in the bin? Is it worth brewing, should he just buy some fresh yeast from Wilko and go from there?

Less than a year, I would do it.

I did a Wherry this a few months back that was a year out of date. No problems for me - in fact, it's rather nice now.

Phone and ask!

The hardware alone is quite complete, and the yeast should still be able to ferment an average strength beer like this. If less than a year old, it should be good to go.

Do you mean less than a year out of date?
