Specialty grain storage
I got tired of digging through this container to find individual specialty grains

Re: Specialty grain storage
Am I wrong to think keeping malts out of light is a good thing?
That said, I too get fed up of searching through my box of assorted bags of malts - the main base malts are kept in a separate dustbin where I store the sacks.

Re: Specialty grain storage
That's not an issue as far as I know. The main thing is an airtight container.

Re: Specialty grain storage
I wouldn't recommend storing grains in direct sunlight*, but daylight generally shouldn't have any noticeable effects. The water % of grains is too low to facilitate any noticeable biochemical changes.
