(waits for comments about freshness and blah blah blah)

[fishjam45 (Colin)]

I did get some crushed grain but I wont be using it til the end of February. Wheres the best place to store it in the meantime?

[Garry]

I store mine in the freezer to be sure. If you don't have room in the freezer, use an air tight container in a cool place. 

[Ciderhead]

Blah, blah , blah, lasts 3 months, blah, vs 12 months uncrushed, blah stale bread blah, fresh blah

you mean citra?

try 1 can LME + either a hop steep or dryhop 20g of each - to 20L

[LordEoin]

2 cans would end up at about 7% at 23liters and leave some residual sweetness. It'll work fine, if that's what you're going for
