Beer with ingredients past Best before date

[tropicalpalmtree]

Is it still okay to make beer when the ingredients are past their best? Any major drawbacks?

I have;

coopers cerveza BBE on 1/10/2021
Light spray malt BBE 12/2021
Safale US-05 yeast BBE 03/2022

As you can see not majorly past their best before dates, but obviously i don't want to wait weeks for bad beer Appreciate the help, if just one or the other will need replacing please let me know! Cheers

They’re all BBE not use by so use them.

I’d second that

Yeah, they'll be fine.
I am still using up crushed malt thats over 18 months old and no problems so far.

If the can is unopened, isn't rusting or bulging, then it will be fine. The spray malt should be ok if stored somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight. The yeast 'may' be dodgy but perhaps hydrate it before use rather than just sprinkling over the wort. I would have an emergency yeast on hand just in case.

No sweat on the yeast if it was stored properly. Last year I brewed a bitter with a pack of Muntons dated Nov 2016 that came out good.

Another thing to remember is that the beer will probably be slightly darker in colour than expected as liquid malt extract darkens as it ages. Doesn't affect smell or taste - just looks.

Yep, my son was give a Cooper's European lager can for his birthday (obviously been regifted a few times as BBE was back in '18)
We'll try it, but just with a bag of sugar rather than waste DME on it
