Hi all - first time poster, but been brewing for a while. Expanded a bit recently with a Keezer that I built and looking to increase brewing volume. So wondering if anyone has tips on how to store grains since I want to start buying more at once.
I'll only mill what I'm ready to use, but I'll probably have a mix of base malts and frequently used specialty malts.
Is there any difference in how well certain malts store? Chocolate vs crystal vs base pale malt for example?
Was thinking plastic bins would be a good way to go, but not sure how important it is to keep the grain absolutely airtight. I have a basement that is probably cool enough year round, but I don't think the air quality is good enough down there and I'd be concerned about the grain picking up moisture/smells.
