My milled grains have been sitting for a while, still good?

[Beardown]

So I milled the grains for the latest batch a few weeks ago... We could not brew till this week. Is this an issue? Or are we ok to use them? The milled grains have been stored in a very dry place ... Thanks

I doubt you'll notice a month or so. Much more and I wouldn't use them for a competition, but since you're probably not doing that, brew away.

They'll be fine! Cool and dry storage is good.

When all else fails, taste them. Put each different grain in your mouth individually and if the 2-row tastes sort of "biscuit-y" and your amber tastes sweet and slightly roasty w/o anything else in it's flavor you should be fine. I have used grain much older than 1 month, although I am quite anal about grain storage, and still made top shelf beer using it. Go for it, there is no time like the present.

Agreed. I've have also re-milled older grain and did a BIAB session and it turned pretty good. Certainly not my best effort but it was drinkable.
