andre the giant said:I just brewed a couple batches. I had the pre-crushed grain stored in a rubbermaid container in our basement (58-68 degrees) and it had been there since probably November. The grain didn't smell as grainy.... until I started the mash. The mash smelled wonderful, just like when I use fresh grains. The yeild was a bit low, but not too bad. I tasted the beer when transfering to the secondary and didn't taste any funky flavors.... It tasted like beer... soon to be GREAT beer.
So to recap....
crushed grains
stored in a storage container at room temp
6-8 months old
smell not as strong as usual
yeild a bit lower than normal
flavor is fine
