Just getting into brewing from scratch and would like to know what are the storage time limits on grains- if any; and refrigeration limits on hops. Oh; and should dry yeast be refrigerated?
Thanks

Yeast should be refrigerated. Hops last for years sealed tight and frozen. Grain should be in a cool dry place and will be fine for over a year (uncrushed.)
Anybody know how long crushed grains will be cool to use. They've been stored in my freezer. Not sure what ideal conditions are for crushed grains, but they're not vacuumed, just in plastic bags with the air pushed out.
If they're toast I'll just toss them, only a few bucks of specialty grains I may not use again anyway.

If they don't oxidize they will be fine. Taste them, if they taste alright they probably are. If they taste stale I would not use them.

Thanks for the info. I should have been more succinct about hops; I meant pellets; is this what you where referring to?
