I do all my brewing in small (1 gallon) batches due to severe space limitations in my apartment. All brew are (dry) extract based with some steeping grains (crystal/chocolate malt etc.) as required.
A typical recipe uses 1lb or so of DME and up to 1lb of (sometimes mixed) grains. I've just ordered several 1kg (2.2lb) bags of DME along with several 1lb bags of various grains.
My question is: will opened bags of DME/crushed grain keep for the 2,3 or 4 weeks that generally elapse between brewing sessions? Airtight containers? The same for leftover hops?
Thanks.
P.S. Current brew is a big (6.6%) ESB just ageing gently in bottles.... Mmmmh :cross:
