Default Re: Flour Storage

I'm thinking that 2 - 3 five gallon containers might hold it, at least if it's the same size bag as the 55 lb bags of barley that I use for brewing beer. CJim probably knows for sure. Certainly, air tight containers are a must for the moths.

I read somewhere that you should buy smaller quantities of flour so that you can use up it faster. I think it becomes stale or goes bad somehow over time.

Anybody know a surefire way to get rid of those pesky little moths? I brought them back from Japan with me. I keep thinking I finally got rid of them, then we get a new hatch of grey flyers flitting around the kitchen. They seem to eat anything with any type of grain in it. I've found them in my bulk spices too.
