Title: Old ingredients makes for a dull brew
Review: I had high hopes for an organic brew. I was at the hop addition stage and after snipping open the hop bag I was greeted with some old, not very fragrant hops. Turned out they were 2006 and not well stored. At that stage of the brew you have no choice but to use them if you don't happen to have a back up supply.Sadly I have 5 gallons of drinkable but bland beer. The response of Seven Bridges - sorry someone should have pulled the old hops from the kits! I am going to toss some leftover hops from a different batch into the keg and see if I can perk it up a tad.Moral here is to buy from suppliers that have higher turnover of the ingredients and check your ingredients carefully before the brew day.
