Old Hop Pellets

[halfhorse]

I have around 50g of hop pellets that have been opened and are about a year old. I have a Coopers IPA (23 litre) which has just about finished fermenting and I was wondering about adding some or all of the pellets for a couple of days. Any advice would be welcome please.

If they were kept in the freezer they will be ok.

Unfortunately not. Think I'll bin them.

I don't imagine they'd be harmful. Just might not be big on flavour/aroma after all that time.

Open them up and smell. Hoppy, use. Cheesy, toss.

Thanks for the advice everyone. On reflection I've decided to err on the side of caution and throw them away.
