I milled my grains about 4 weeks ago, but didn't get around to brewing. I put the grains in the fridge after a week, but haven't really looked at them since.
Do you think I should go ahead with the brew or by some new grains?
 
You should be fine. You MAY lose some efficiency but not for such a short time. Check for mold or strange smells, but as long as it has been cold and dry I doubt that you will notice anything like that. I have had crushed grain in my "Crushed Grain" bucket for as long as 6 weeks at room temperature and didn't notice anything unusual when I finally mashed it.

Does this look like a suitable grain mill?
