Crushed Grains

[Mchmss]

I have ingredients for an all grain wheat beer that I ordered a month ago. The grains are already crushed. Had to reschedule my brew day and then got busy with a move.

Do you think the grains are still ok or am I wasting my time trying to brew with month old crushed Grains that have been stored in the box they came in for a month?

You're fine. Someone on here posted that a Briess maltster indicated that crushed grains will last almost as long as uncrushed grains if kept in good conditions (i.e. cool, out of light, not humid, etc).

should be fine for 6 months (at least, with proper storage) unless they are in an wet/humid environment.

I wouldn't say that most home brewers will store crushed grains well enough to equal uncrushed over a longer period of time.

But, the length of time indicated causes no worries unless the grains were open on the counter for that time.
