Killing bugs in my grain

I'd just look at it as adding some protein to the beer. You could sell it to health food stores and GNC shops.

Dont worry, crush your grain and mash in is usual. After 20 minutes or so, grab a small straining device and scoop out the little weevil islands floating on top of your grain bed. Wee-vil, wee-vil rock you.

Man those moths are killer to get rid of.
Those phermone traps should definitely be on your shopping list.
It will catch any stragglers that stayed behind. There always are.

Ooooohhh...good idea! I hadn't heard of those before! Guess I'm in the "oops too late" category as opposed to the OP who is working on prevention. My poor, bare pantry.

Last note on this one if anyone cares....I never mentioned that the two bags of weevil infested grain were from two different LHBS's and in the airconditioning about 70 degrees.

Opened each one last night (in industrial trash bags twisted and in 5 gallon buckets with lids snapped on. No contamination. Very happy!

I have since just put in freezer when I buy grain. If I need to put some in buckets, I will put them in cornies and CO2 them, then put in bags and buckets after they have been neutralized.

Thanks for all our posts.
