Well my brew day got off to a bad start. I plunked my grain mill down on top of a 5-gallon bucket and started weighing out my grain. Just before I started milling, I saw what I thought were ants in the bottom bucket! Closer inspection determined they were weevils. The grain itself wasn’t infested - it seems they were just hanging out in the mill, which admittedly I don’t regularly clean out, so there’s quite a bit of grain powder coating it. I guess that’s what attracted them? Don’t know much about these critters - never saw them before until today.
Anyone else ever have a similar experience? I guess I have added another step to my process: clean out the mill every time! And I think I’ll store it in a plastic bag from now on.
