I have not found any dates on Northern/Midwest LME jugs. Maybe I'm blind?And remember to include the 'packaged on' (or 'best by') date in your brew day notes.

I've gone the cider route but for some reason it gives me skull splitting headaches the next day. I don't have that issue with beer or wine. Only cider. My LBHS doesn't carry the canned kits anymore, but in this country, I don't think anyone does. I think they're still popular in Britain, but no where else. I had a friend who brewed an old ale canned kit, supplemented with extra malt (and not sucrose like the instructions say), used a big liquid yeast starter and fermented at controlled temperatures. He entered it in a local BJCP sanctioned competition and took gold in the category. When I'm too busy to set aside a whole day for all grain, I like to sneak in an extract batch now and then. I don't tell my lame non-brewer friends, and they can't tell the difference. I like to support my LHBS, so I get my kits from https://boomchugalug.com/collections/beer-kitshonestly, i've been sersiously mulling the idea of getting a few pre hopped coopers kits, for when brew day doesn't happen...and maybe even using "beer enhancer".....lol
edit: i've got two likes on that, but seriously. i just spent $40 on 10 gallons of apple juice and 4lbs sugar to make 9% cider...because i'm behind on malting...and if this is the cost of pre hopped malt extract f'it!
