Two days ago I moved 4 25kg bags of grain (2@MO, 1@wheat, 1@2row) onto a pallet in the garage while I collect suitable water- and rodent- storage containers.
Dear Wife calls out from the garage this morning that "we have a problem". Yes, the water heater has come apart, and yes, the water heater is in a closet about 5' over the stacked bags of grain. Yes, the grains are wet. Threw the bags out of the way and got water turned off to the heater.
We are spreading the grains out on dropcloths in front of a fan and raking them until they dry. I feel like a maltster. Hopefully being damp then getting airdried will not hurt them too much.
At least the Dear Wife has a sense of humor about having 100 kilos of grain evenly distributed on the living room floor. Will post pics after we get things situated.
