Shelf life of milled grains

[agentbud]

I had some leftover milled grains from my last brew that I immediately put in one of those foodsaver airlock bags and stored in a cabinet. How long will milled grains stay usable in that state?
Thanks, Mike

You're going to get a wide range of answers to this question. I can say that last spring I brewed 2 all grain kits I bought (pre crushed) about 5 - 6 years ago and were in plastic, twist tied bags. Not the best beer I ever made, but they weren't the worst either. We buy pre crushed grain all the time without thinking about it. It's called flour.

Many, many months.

They will produce wort for many years but the sooner you use them, the better.
