Also, remember to keep your fermenter out of exposed light. Keep it in a closet or something if you can.

I use the kegerator / temp controller for fermentation control. A cooler with water & ice like others said works fine.

When I got back into brewing I had some extract older than 2 years and the brew turned out fine. I used fresh hops and yeast though.

i didnt.






well this is more like 3 or 4 years old. the yeast expired at the end of '10, but it has been in mr fridge ever since. Hops were airtight sealed from AHB.

It did have some bublbing activity this morning. I saw you mentioned Marcellos has a little brewing supply. you think they would have a german ale/kolsch yeast i could pick up this weekend if the yeast is dead?

Until primary fermentation is done. 3-4 days or so once fermentation starts.

Marcellos would have a handful of yeasts, don't know about German ones though. Definitely some American and English ones.
