Old Muntons Beer Enhancer?

[yashicamat]

I've got two 1kg packets of Muntons Beer Enhancer still knocking about with a useby of Nov 07. Now I cannot see myself ever moving back to kit beers, let alone kit beers that require additional sugars. It occured to me that the beer enhancer would be good for priming bottles / barrels, getting starters going etc., but this stuff is a bit out of date.

What's the general opinion on this - being out of date, does it matter that much? I intend to boil it first anyway before use . . . .

Cheers.

if you're going to boil it and use it for priming etc, I don't see any problem in using it.

I had some ancient dark spraymalt kicking around in the back of the cupboard and apart from being all in one lump it was fine once dissolved.

Spraymalt is expensive stuff and with 2kg of something which will do the same thing for priming etc., would seem a waste to chuck it!
