I bought 11 lbs worth of cracked grain from my LHBS 5 months ago. I read it only lasts 3 weeks... Is this correct? Its onluy a $14 loss. I would rather use fresh grain and not waste my time with bad grain. What do you think?
The only LHBS I've ever used is Murrieta Homebrew Emporium in California, so I don't know how it's done elsewhere. But there I routinely serve myself, write down the weights of everything, and pay to the nearest tenth of a lb (ie, for 5 oz I'd be charged for .31 of a lb...).Bump an old thread. I was curious about this as well. I am about to do all grain 3 gallon batches and the scaling gives some unusual quantities of grain. I'm not sure that my LHBS will measure out 5 oz quantities of grain.
My plan is to use our food saver for unused grain, label it, and store it in the pantry. I'll probably do the same for hops. Sound like a plan?
