expiry date

I have a couple of tins of Cooper's Pilsner from about 5 years ago...I realize that the yeast would probably be dead but would the extract be any good anymore?....Just wondering what I should do with these 2 tins...Just chuck em out or are they still usuable...

thanks.

when to add dry hops to secondary

I've got a cooper's dark ale in the secondary right now...Picked up some fuggles pellets the other day....When should I put them in the secondary? A week before bottling? right now?....Should I just put them straight in or use some kind of strainer to keep from making a mess? thanks..
