You should join our group buys! That sack of 2row would have been $23.

Yep, that should keep you going for a while! But did you seriously buy that sack of 2-row CRUSHED? How are you going to keep it fresh until you use it up (even at your brewing rate)?

**TheJadedDog** · 09-09-2007, 08:15 PM

Seriously man, I think you need an intervention.

Looks like you should be good to go for a while, wish I could brew often enough to require that many ingredients.

That's the only question...

My basement is AC'd and bone dry. I recon as long as I keep the grains wrapped up tight in their original sack, in the box they were shipped...dry and cool, they should last me the 5-6 weeks it'll take to get through it.

Even it I loose some (shich I don't see happenning), the savings in bulk pricing and shipping should still put me ahead.

Yeah, I bet you will be fine. In fact, this might make for another good 'experiment' for you to see if you notice any difference after 5-6 weeks. Many people say you have to use up crushed grains within a week, but I bet you can go much longer. I'll be interested to hear how it goes.

Yep, that's for sure. But I still see a Barley Mill coming your way soon, right? Then you can join into Harv's bulk purchases -- with the money you save from THAT you can pay for the mill!!

Christmas can't come soon enough.

Ah, Christmas... Halloween... what's the difference, right? They are both big holidays for homebrewers.

I have used grain that was 6 weeks past its crush and I saw no drop in my efficiency. It was sealed in one of the bags that AHS sends their stuff in.
