Longevity of Crushed Grain

Thanks BUB.

Damn our over exuberant rush to brew!

I am sure your grain story will have a happy ending like mine.

I suppose my grains did turn out OK. I just finished brewing them and it went good. The stout also smelled fine as I was transfering it. I fell a bit short on my O.G. but I don't think it has anything to do with the keeping of the grain. I am pretty sure that my mini-mash methods leave something to be desired. I'll take the rest of this story to a more appropriate thred.
So far, so good.

Prost!

1. You'll be just fine ... in fact, you did great !
2. Have your LHBS crush half the grain a second time ... better extraction.
3. Make yourself a second immersion chiller. Place it inline before the first chiller in a bucket (cooler, whatever) of salty icewater. The first chiller doesn't have to be anything terribly fancy. This method will get you cool very quicklike. DMS be damned!

Best of Luck, sounds like you are well on your way.
