Is A Wine Kit OK To Use Past It's Use By Date

I have a couple of tins of wine kits, I know the yeast etc will not last much past its use
by date, but will the juice extract that is sealed in a tin last? only you hear of baked beans
etc that are still usable after many years, would this still apply if the juice extract was in a sealed tin?

Just seems a shame for it to go down the drain, when it could be used for a good cause...lol

 

The yeast might fail, but everything else should be OK. If intending to try using old yeast make a starter and only if that starts fementing vigorously open the rest of the stuff. You might have a load of Tartaric Acid crystals at the bottom of the concentrate, but hot water will dissolve those so everything in the can can be used.

 

Thanks Scrungee, we are moving soon so this is going to my first brew in our
new home

....Which has a North facing garden so will be looking for new planting
ideas as well
