I found something on this topic before but would feel better with some reassurance. I also make beer the way I cook so I keep a wide variety of ingredients on hand.
It didn't take long to figure out that buying malt syrup in bulk would save money so I got a 33lb container. I figured that since it's a food, I would pour the remainder; after my first batch out of the container and into gl water bottles and refridgerate it. Has anybody ever had a problem with this stuff going bad in about a month's time (I'll likely use it all within a month)?
My DME; I seal em in a prep-bucket to keep out moisture and sugar ants - that seems to work just fine. Any pointers for DME? It would seem that that stuff should last as long as it stays dry.
I've also read about grains getting moldy; any tips for storing grains?
All of my hops are vaccuum sealed and in the freezer.
