Chinook ipa extract kit

Within a month I plan on brewing the chinook ipa extract kit. I also realized I have a can of hme left from a mr beer kit I received in the past; Mexican cerveza. This can expires in 3 months and i hate to have it go to waste. Details below

My question is it possible to use this with my chinook ipa kit?

What will happen?

Will it provide more food for the yeast and I get a higher abv?

What step would I add it to the process ? @40 minutes to get it well mixed in?

I am using s05 as my yeast.

I even thought about dry hopping with 1 oz of simco

Any info be appreciated,

Jason

It’s not going to add much to the beer you’re going to make other than a little boost in ABV. Even then it is a small amount and I wouldn’t worry about adding it.

If it were me, I would use this extract to make a yeast starter. You are using dry yeast so this isn’t needed but maybe you could save it and use it for a starter later.
