How long will crushed grains stay fresh?
How long will crushed grains stay fresh?
I have some left over crushed grains from my last batch. How long can I expect crushed grains to stay fresh? I have heard about two weeks, but I am storing them in my garage @ 40F.

Is the container air tight? Cracked grains can absorb moisture as well as off flavors. I too have heard the two week time line and have never challenged it. My brother and I bought a mill so we crack only what we need the night before brew day. I know I am not much help in the matter but know that your enemies are moisture and odor absorption.
