Default Re: storing powder

the problem w/ the moisture isn't so much in the storage (at least as far as this thread was going), but in the fact that if you pull the powder from a 70 degree fridge into a 80 degree room, the moisture in the air can condensate onto the colder item. if you put the item into a 'air tight' bag while it acclimates to the new temp, the moisture in the air will accumulate on the bag.

the vacuum sealer may work as well, but i'm not sure if the bag should be at room temp already when putting the cold item in. i guess if it is already 'air tight' in its vacuum bag, moisture can't get back in.
