Well, I think I saw a post that said 2 weeks if kept cool and dry. Certainly my grain is dry in plastic bags, and half is in fridge and the rest in cool basement (65 degree, approx.).

I had it crushed at the brew shop, but I became very busy, and couldn't brew when I wanted to. It has been 1 month since it was crushed.

Should I buy new grain or will it be fine. What are the effects?
 
I've brewed with a couple month old crushed grains, tasted just great! Now if there was mold or something on it i might think twice. You might call that one Blue cheese ale :cross:
 
I pulled a 1-year old 1/2 pound ziploc bag of crushed acid malt out and noticed some of the tiny grains were...........moving.

Tossed that bag.

I'd say somewhere between 1 month and 1 year...something might go wrong. :D

In your case...brew away bro. :rockin:
 
I have about 700 lbs of 3 year old pre-crushed grain if anyone's interested. Come and get it. :D
