So tonight I get home from my shift and am excited about tomorrows brew day. In preparation I know I need to get 9 lbs of grain crushed and get the essentials ready and checked. Then I noticed something moving in the grain bag. I took a closer look to find that it was a single weevil. At first I thought no biggie even if there are a couple more theyll get boiled into nothingness and thus I continued. Until I stepped away for a moment to get a phone call. When I returned I noticed the entire grain bill was covered with weevils and I don't mean just one or two of them, its like the entire weevil population of south carolina descended upon my grain for a feast and my hopes for a promising brew day dashed. To make things worse I then noticed that it wasn't only secluded to that one bag but had also gotten to the grain I was going to use to brew on monday with!. Words do not describe the frustration I feel. So now I have to ask the question, never really having this problem in the past, how can I prevent this from happening? I felt fairly confident that everything was as airtight as possible and I keep my house fairly clean. Any suggestions would be a great help!
Cheers
