I started working at a new brewery that has been having a very difficult time securing a brewery permit. Unfortunately raw ingredients mainly hops and malts were purchased over a year ago. The malts have been kept relatively cool, dry and away from any pests and the hops, although not refrigerated, have remained in their vacuum sealed bags never above room temperature.
Should I scrap them completely? Or could I blend them with fresh malts and hops for now? Does anyone have any thoughts on the issue of shelf life?
Many thanks!
