Iain - The kit will be OK. If you really get into beer making check out
"The Homebrew Digest" at www.hbd.org and another newsgroup
"rec.crafts.brewing". Both are good places for beer expertise.

Hi,

I have a beer kit with a best before 18th Oct. Is this still OK and date
on the tin is just for meeting some EU directive or will it be unusable.

Sorry its beer, I do make wine and you all are so friendly.
