question...so we've got this new store in town that just started to carry bulk grains...awesome, right? couldn't be happier to have a LHBS that sells grain by the oz, or 50 lb bag if needed. no more shipping and handling charges. but here's the deal....they probably have 30+ varieties of grain and they're stored in those clear plastic cereal/coffee bean dispensers you see at some grocery stores (you know, where you pull the little lever and the stuff pours out the bottom). thing is, the grain station sits up next to a huge plate glass window with southern exposure...for most of the year that equals tons of direct sunlight all day. i'm fairly new to AG brewing...but i got to imagine that ain't good for the grain? we're not a big city so i don't imagine they move too much product....just wondering, how much UV exposure will turn grain evil? is it worth letting the manager know? thanks in advance!
