I purchased an airtight pet food storage container. I keep that in the house.

Separated in smaller quantities (e.g. freezer bags, freezer-safe containers) in the freezer. You will need to let them sit a few minutes before grinding, but they will be fine. If you grind large amounts of flour, the flour can also be stored in the freezer.

I store my seeds in a heavy duty igloo box and keep it inside the house. I use the seeds for growing wheat grass.

what is the best way to store? in the past a drop of water in a bag in the fridge would keep it moist to pop better, any other suggestions about best storage re: freshness:-)

I use several Zip Lock brand freezer bags to store this food. (Freezer bags are thicker, seal more tightly, and keep food fresher than regular storage bags.) I keep it in our climate-controlled pantry, and it lasts for months this way. (I wouldn't recommend storing it in the garage if you live down South like I do.)

The bag should keep dust out in regular conditions. It's a paper type bag with a zipper in the front. The only opening, when zipped, is where the top of the hangar comes out. I keep it in the closet so it's fine. If it were somewhere with swirling dust or wind- then it might permit dust inside. It's clearly not intended as a permanent, heirloom storage system.

The contents of this bag should stay fresh for years, so long as the bag is not opened or punctured. This a multi-ply package that is heat sealed. Once you open it for use, you must put the remainder in another mylar pouch and heat seal closed or in a glass jar with a lid that will seal well. Also store this bag out of direct sunlight and heat above 80 deg F.

I would put the bag in a trash sack with baking soda for a few days first to pull out as much of the smell as possible, then seal it

It's very easy to store. It takes only no more than 5 minutes to do so. Mine came with a bag.

transfer into gallon size ziplock bags and use out of the smaller bags. or store in tupperware type container

There is a bucket with a handle inside that you easily lift out and dump . You could put a bag in that. I would not use water as that would make more smell and volume.

I use a zip lock bag. However I also had some in open container for about a year, which worked just fine just recently. They will not dry out, but since sticky it would be better in a bag....

I store unopened bags in my freezer. I refill a mason jar as needed, and keep the mason jar in my refrigerator. I have never had a problem with it. If you want to store it without low temperatures, you may want to contact Red Star and ask them.

The ziploc bags are not air tight. They have a zipper around the top so should stay shut but also have a narrow mesh around the top and are not vacuum sealed.

Yes, flour can be stored in mylar bags. Make sure to use oxygen absorbers in each bag. When storing, keep the bags in a hard type container, such as food grade bucket or storage tub. Keep the container up off the floor a few inches to prevent moisture/condensation caused by temperature change. Try to keep in a dark, dry place with a average temp of 70 degree F. The closer you keep it to 70 or below, the longer it will keep.

There is no need for a bag. You can save time by just dumping the shredded contents into a garbage bag once it's full.

A cool dry place is best. Take them out of any plastic bag they are in and put them in a small cardboard box or cedar shavings.

This is a ziplock type/ stay fresh bag so don't worry about opening it. After you open it and use it you simply zip it shut again for continued use.

I use Ziplock vacuum bags. They are less expensive and I actually like them better.
