Bad news: I was about to start a brew and found some tiny crawling things in the crystal malt bag. I chucked that lot out, and after carefully looking in the other malts they seemed OK. Luckily I had a new bag of crystal malt on hand.
But this got me thinking: could the new vacuum bags that my wife bought to store blankets, pillows, etc, be used to store malt?
I managed to put 2 x 25kg malt bags in the jumbo size vacuum bag, and single 25kg bags just fit in the large. Then you apply the vacuum cleaner and suck all the air out.
I'll report on the long-term outcome but if anyone has any experience with this I'd be interested to hear it. Tomorrow I'll buy new storage bags before my wife finds out what I did with hers.
