When I get kits from the brew store and I won’t be able to brew them right away I like to separate out the ingredients. My hope is to prolong the freshness as best I can.  Obviously if my kit came with liquid yeast that goes in the refrigerator. I also like to put my hops in the fridge.

Since I don’t have a grain mill quite yet, I usually like to get my grains crushed at the store. I’m told that keeping them in a dry cool place will help keep them fresh. So the remainder of the box ends up in the entryway closet, eagerly awaiting brew day.

Nothing too fancy, but I like to hope that will keep the ingredients as fresh as I can.

Cheers!
Tony
