Grain storage

Post by Rookie » Mon Jun 12, 2023 3:25 pm

I won this yesterday at club meeting. It's next to the six gallon bucket that I had been using to store grains.

They seem to be popular in North America and Australia (?) but I’m not sure they are readily available in Europe. They look pretty handy though!

Similar but different. Those are also available in DIY stores in Germany, including versions with taps.

I have an old style plastic dustbin which has a fairly tight fitting lid. It’s big enough for more than one 25Kg sack of malt, but not by much. It does work well for several part bags.

Nuts.
OK fat balls... Bird food comes in plastic tubs, that hold 4kg tight. Weight em out when the sack comes in. Pack & stack well. FREE! and best of all 4kg is a handy weight for pale and avoids settlement of the finer grains.
