Starsan and PBW

[berryman]

IS there a shelf life on opened, some used, sealed starsan and PBW in original containers?. Close to 2 years old now.

Mines that old and still does their job.

I remember years ago reading that as long as it has a PH of 3 or lower, it's still good.
I saw on Reddit that someone has been using theirs for 8 years!!!!!!

The starsan is 8 oz with 1 0z gone and the PBW is 16 oz with about 3 or 4 TBSP gone. I hate to throw it away if still good, that stuff has gotten expensive, but I won't chance a batch atleast with the starsan if I think it is bad. I got plenty of stuff like uncrushed specialty grains that i will have to throw out for the wild birds to eat.

Uncrushed? Go ahead and use them. If you're not sure, you can take a kernel and bite ir. That will let you know how it tastes.

I have some grains from before my accident (November 2023). I'm not really doing extract with hop boil batches yet, ao all grain is a ways off. I'll use the grains i have.
