Hi folks,

I found an old John Bull Pilsner kit at the back of the cupboard. The date on it is 2009! The tin is bulging a bit at the ends. Is it likely to be usable, or just chuck in the bin?? Thx :)
 
If the tin is bulging I'd bin it for definite. With tinned food that's a sign of something growing in the tin, commonly the bacteria that causes botulism.

Don't know if that's the case here but I'm pretty tight and wouldn't risk it for the £10-15 cost of a 1 can kit. Plus you'll need new yeast too.
