I just got handed the grain bill for this recipe http://beersmith.com/Recipes2/recipe_273.htm
From a friend of mine who long story short isn't using it. The only problem is he got it together about 6 months ago and yes the grains are crushed. He assured me that it was sealed air tight for the duration but even then im not so sure about it. He didn't have the yeast to go with it and i can get whatever hops and add more to the grains if need be (i might add 2row since I'm only getting about 60 percent efficiency right now anyways) but the real question is should i use it as the recipe states? Can i try and go americanized oud bruin assuming the grains are a bit funky? Should i just toss them and save myself a big waste of time? Any input would be greatly appreciated
