Storing grains and hops

[adm]

If you have space, go and get a bin from your local garden centre for a tenner or so. Preferably metal, but plastic will do just fine unless you have a serious rodent problem.

A "normal size" outdoor green plastic bin will happily hold a full 25Kg sack of malt (just drop the whole sack in - don't bother emptying it into the bin) plus about 10 or so kilos of other grains in 1Kg bags (like you get from Barley Bottom)

I find that a 25kg sack of MO has a volume of approximately 55 to 60 litres. I use two old Boots FVs which combined will store (just) a full sack of MO. Pretty sure they're mouse proof too, although that said, a plastic mini-dustbin which we stored bird food in the shed has been eaten through before now by the furry rodents.
