Am I the only, uh, pragmatic brewer who just leaves the grain in the sack in which it originally came? I just tie a knot in the top, or close it with a rubber band if it is too close to the top for a knot and call it done.

I have 3 of these bins.

They will hold 55# of grain with ease, have wheels, and the lid has an O-ring seal to keep out bugs and humidity.

I found these both at Wal-mart and Pet Smart.

Yup I am another cheap brewer who keeps my grain in the bag it came in. Seems to work fine! I already paid for the container the grain came in why not use it?
