Freezing dry goods in 5 gallon buckets and then storing them in a closet at room temperature didn't cause any moisture or condensation build up that affected the dry goods? I ask because bug infestation is our main concern and are always searching for methods that can help. I wonder if this method would work for dry beans, wheat, barley, etc as well?
There wasn’t enough moisture in the dry goods to build up inside the containers. Freezing the dry goods for a couple of days killed the insect larvae that may have escaped. What is worse, the larvae that can live in an microaerophilic environment, or a little moisture? I cannot answer that but do know the USAF did it as a SOP.
