I am considering doing bulk grain buys with a fellow brewer. I know that I need to try to store in airtight containers for longer storage, but do I need a dessicant to prevent moisture. If so, what dessicant should I use? Thanks for any advice. Mack. "When it comes to sports...I choose...

I've had two excellent batches of cider, but this last one is horrid. Sanitation was stringent. The only difference I can see is using a different yeast: Cote des Blanc. Flavor is really off with a very bitter finish. This batch has aged four months. Will this age out, or is it a waste of...
