I have to believe that freezing grain for long term storage is misguided. Freezer burn could cause some odd things to happen and I don't see any being useful. |

Dan,
What about a month or two? |

Bierview, what are you trying to gain from freezing? Or do you mean winter storage in an unheated space that will be subject to freezing temperatures>? |

I don't think that a month or two is long term storage. I doubt that it would hurt the malt much, but I really can't see any advantages either. |

My brew partner is always trying to preserve things such as corn sugar in the freezer. He says he does it to keep it away from a possible mouse running accross it in his basement.
If it is a dry product, it just needs to be kept dry and cool, but not freezing. |

It's been a bit humid here in the northeast and I was just thinking out loud. I have a really good grain bin and was curious to hear different opinions. |
