Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.

I occasionally worry about brewing during Georgia droughts. Five gallons
of beer uses easily an order of magnitude more water. I also remember the
great Homebrew Hops Shortage of the early 2000s. I reckon I might have to
start buying them 50 lb bags of 2-row pretty soon.

The enzymes required for starch conversion are only good for about a
year even sealed in airtight containers and the malted grain is
uncrushed. :-(
My 50# bag went from a yield of 6% ABV to 1.3% ABV in 2 years with the
same method and processing.
My last batch from that grain purchase I added the amylase enzyme
directly (about 1 cup, found a bag at Buford Hwy Farmers Market in the
rice, grains, other aisle) and got back up to 6.5%.

I might try doing a CO2 or N2 flush before I seal up the bucket next
time. Cram a hose to the bottom of the bucket, pour on the grain,
slowly bleed in the gas until a candle at the top won't stay lit, seal
the lid. I'm using the 6 gal plastic buckets with the "gamma lid"
