You only want up to 20% in a batch otherwise it's going to get cloying and sweet, overpowering.
Just brew lots!

IGNORE the BBE date. I use adjuncts/hops that are several years old with no issues.
As long as the malt smells/tastes fine it will be fine. You are using crystal for colour not for sugars so just use it as you need to.

I doubt it has a use by date. It will be a best before date which means what it says. It won't suddenly be unusable after Valentine's Day.Razzer35 said:

Exactly, providing it's stored properly it will last at least a year or so.

I've had something of a surplus of crystal for a while now.
GW's recipe for Arckell's Mash-Tun Mild uses a surprisingly high percentage of it, and it is a pretty tasty drop, too.
