I've had work consume my life for over a year and haven't brewed as a result. As a result, I've had grains in a air sealed container for 12 months now and I plan on brewing soon. Will these grains work or be a waste of time and effort?
 
What DBhomebrew said, I always do that when measuring out my grains. I buy a sack of base malt and keep specialty grains in vacuum food saver bags in a big plastic tub. They last a long time if vacuum sealed.
