Hi Everyone,
I read a few posts about storing LME but had a specific question about my scenario. A new LHBS started offering bulk LME out of a container. I was the first guinea pig and asked for 30 lbs. long story short, I ended up with 45 lbs.
I am going to transfer to a 5 gallon bucket and use a gamma lid and store in my cool basement. Any reason I couldn't just continue buying a 5 gallon bucket full each time? I am brewing in 8 days. After that initial brew, which should consume 33 pounds, I will do another brew in three weeks to get the second batch going...so this LME will need to keep for a total of about a month.
