I haven’t brewed for over two years due to renovation and general lethargy. But I’m back at it. I brewed a gluten free for my gf and it was based in rice syrup so didn’t need to deal with grains.
But, now I’m ready to hit the all grain.
I have a lot of unmilled grain that has been sealed in air tight plastic containers for two years in a non-temperature controlled environment (aka spare bedroom). How can I tell if it’s any good? I’ve heard grains can get some kind of mold but apart from obvious smell/visual signs, is there a way to tell if I can salvage this? Or should I throw it all out?
Btw my hops, although stored in the freezer, are all going in the composer.
