How do you store your grain?

[Batz]

Old chest freezer, no longer works. Grain stored in the bags with a cable tie to seal. No bugs, no mice. Been working for several years now.

IN the sack in a lockable steel cabinet with the rest of my valuables.

You are still talking about grain, right? Not something kinky?

I have some spec grains in some Aldi flip top containers. 15 or so kg for flour and the like. They are clear though. Is that a bad thing?

Couldn't find this item on the bunnings website... can you post a link?

Also, have you ever had any problem with weevils or ants finding their way in? A wheelie bin lid will keep out mice but not insects....?

I was thinking something with a resonable seal would be required, I like the look of those blue plastic drums that mofox posted.

Cheers, Matt

I put the 25 kg bags of grain into a rubbish bin liner first ( carefully ) then slide the bag into the 60 L bin,the grain bags have an inner liner for protection against moisture but I use the bin liner as added protection .
After taking what I need from the bag I fold it over while pushing to force any air out,then I fold the bin liner over the top for extra protection.
In the 7 yrs I've been doing this I have never had any probs with pests.

They say storage in a dark, cool, and dry location is optimal. Can't cite anything though.

Did i say 15kg? More like 5kg. They're pretty airtight so i might just have to line em with a a black bin bag.
