What's the shelf life on crushed specialty grains?

3 weeks, maybe longer of you keep them in humidity free environment.

buy yourself a half pound of crystal 60L. Tatse it each day for a few weeks. The crisp crunch will fade soon as the grain sucks up moisture.

I think if you keep them dry, like in a big rubbermaid container, they should be good for a few months. It's best to keep them uncrushed, and then crush when needed.

Months is too long for crushed grain. Down voted because this site needs more downvoting and users to keep it interesting. – brewchez Apr 21 '10 at 22:10
