my LHBS seems to think it is normal to have live weevils crawling in all their grain. I want to order a bunch of 50lb sacks but don't want to deal with grain that is already full of hundreds of bugs. I dont know if they get it like that from Briess or maybe it comes from a distributor with poor storage conditions, or they just store it in hot/humid open air garage at the LHBS.
I'll get a freshly ordered one now, but i'm worried it will have the same problem. Is there a time of year to avoid getting sacks? Maybe this winter I'll just order a year's supply and freeze it. Does that kill eggs enough that the grain will be safe as long as it's sealed?
