Coopers 924 Europese Lager Homebrewing Hopped Malt Extract Dranken

Nice drink

This is nothing like a Heineken. I was expecting something like what was pictured on the label.I bought one of these on May 2018 and hung onto it for 2 years before brewing it. It got pushed aside and forgotten. However, due to Coronavirus, we're going through our pantry pretty thoroughly, now that we're locked-down at home. I didn't bother checking the date, but needless to say, the LME was certainly waaaaaaaaaaaay past its "Best By:" date. I wasn't too worried that it was going to go "bad" though; it's basically liquid sugar...right? Apparently, LME darkens with age. The yeast can also be hit or miss. I brewed up the batch, added more sugar, and sprinkled in the yeast and the next day I checked on it disappointed to see no airlock activity. She just needs time since it's old yeast, and a lager strain, right? After a couple of days go by of no activity, the airlock comes to life slowly burping bubbles. I had just completed a small 1-gallon ale and only after 12 hours the airlock was bubbling away. I move the batch into the cooler basement where it finishes fermentation after 2 weeks. I was absolutely THRILLED to see the yeast had flocculated to the bottom resulting in a beautifully dark but clear beer and somewhat fizzy. I'm so happy with the results even with this "old" LME, that I ordered another on April 2020, and has a "Best By:" date of 20/06/21. It'll be interesting to see if there's a noticeable difference with fresh LME. If you do a search on "LME darkens with age", on of the first links you'll find is a guy that did a side by side experiment on new and old LME. The end result was that people could tell the difference, but they were split on which one they preferred.
