I have a year old kit, are the ingredients still ok to use?

I have an American Amber kit that somebody made for me as a Christmas gift last year. I'm only now getting to brew it. I know the hops are bad, I've gotten some new ones, but should I replace all of the grain as well? Will it make a big difference or is it something I can get away with? It's only a small batch about 4.5 gallons.

Is the grain milled? Hops sealed? Yeast have a BB date on it? Partial mash or All grain?

Chew the grain and see how it tastes. Is it still crisp?

It was sealed and all grain until I opened it today, the grain is still crisp

If the grain tastes good do it!
