Thinking about starting using distillers grains.... but.... how are you all storing it? I hear it goes bad fairly quick... thanks for replies.
How are you storing your distillers?

We have kept dried distillers for well over a year before. Wet usually needs to be used up quickly if you only have a little of it. We have kept wet for over six months before in a bunker covered by sweet corn silage.
how did you get a cover of silage on top of the wet distillers?
I am asking because I would love to layer some wet byproducts I get to make a silage- but I can't figure out how to get a layer on top of the wet stuff and pack it. I don't think the tractor would stay on top
I'm figuring the wet distillers would be even worse .

I store it in fifty gallon garbage cans with lids. In the summer it does go bad in about two weeks. This time of year it seems to do well. I go get it every three weeks. I don't have any experience with it staying around longer. I do have some plastic drums with locking lids. The grain in the drums doesn't mold at all. I get a little mold on top of the grain, with the garbage cans. :cboy:

I have a neighbor who has stored wet for a long time in bunkers on the ground, same way he does his seed corn and sweet corn silage. Doesn't seem to have much of a problem with it. We are doing that now too as we got a call from a plant with a decent price for once. In the cold like right now the stuff lasts a long time, get a bit warmer, not so much... Have seen folks bag it too in silage bags.. Don't know how well that worked for them but one was a place in Southern Illinois that was doing it in the summer that way.
