If I measure out grain for brew day crushed or no I usually use a plastic fermenting bucket for temporary storage. I alsways have several plastic pails around no matter what. I ferment in glass carboys but the bucket is a good idea that hadn't crossed my mind.
I probably should grab a couple next time I am at home depot. Then once I get my mill they can be re-purposed for something else around the house. I have a whole stack of buckets - most I would no longer use as fermenters, but still come in very handy on brew day. Even if you do get a mill, they can be very handy for storing crushed grain over night if you want to crush the night before and save time.
Even if I crush day of, I usually measure out all my grain in advance and store for a day or two in a bucket. The OP should hold you responsible if his room mate grabs that garbage bag and throws it to the trash between now and brew day. Holy Moley that would suck! On the other hand, we don't know what the vermin situation is at the OP's house. I could just mill into the bucket and throw the lid on. I too have a stack of buckets but not ones I would use for anything brew related.
I have 2 that hold painting supplies, 1 that I use once a year to brine the Thanksgiving turkey and one that was an ash tray in the backyard until I quite smoking. I'm sure my wife would love to see a few more show up in the garage! Hutch said:. LethalCorpse said:. I guess it depends on how close you are to grain and grape, and how soon you expect to get him a mill. SpillsMostOfIt said:. I think this might be the best answer to date. I've bought a sack of grain then borrowed a mill to crush it and made good beer.
It works. But, you simply cannot beat the flexibility and convenience of the Grain Book. Apart from anything else, you get the crush for free and you get to use any species of grain they stock. You also get to familiarise yourself with all the bright shiny objects in the shop. The figures improve as you brew more interesting beers EK Well-Known Member.
Just curiously, does he have a keg setup? I just got one for my birthday and was very happy to open a box to some shiny hardware. If so, or if it is too expensive the wife passed the hat around to my friends , then the grain mill or other relevant hardware would be my pick. Grain will get used and be gone, the hardware will last, especially if it is shiny metal. You must log in or register to reply here.

Covrich Sith Acolyte Staff member. Should be fine as long as it has been stored okay. Thanks for the input both. It has been stored in a sealed plastic bag, as supplied.
I think crushed grain goes off after a little while. This isn't an issue with whole grain I think. I'll give it a good sniff before I use it and see if it smells as good as the fresh stuff. I would definitely advise using it, as opposed to worrying about it.
Cwrw Landlord. I bought a 25kg sack of maris otter which I've now used for 5 brews and have enough left for a half brew. Well it's been a few months now but there was no noticeable difference between the first brew and the last one I did. Thanks for the replies. I used it tonight in my 3 AG brew.
