Hi

I am having difficulties finding adequate storage for 1500kg of beans.

I just found some moth in the beans so they are getting treated, but I need to find somewhere cool and dry to store them long term. A dedicated cool room would be ideal but before I spend the big money I just want to know if freezing them is and option, this way I can rent space in a frozen coolstore which would be much better at the moment. Unfortunately I cannot find adequate space to just keep them cool, dry and odor free.

I am thinking of double bagging the sacks to protect from moisture, then freezing on pallets. When I need a sack of beans I will bring them out, allow them to warm to ambient temperature , then open the bag in a humidity controlled room.

Will this work?
