The time available for cooling is short even without condensation because warm kernel temperatures encourage spoilage. Cool the grain in three days or less even if it has been dried to the storage moisture content in the dryer. If the grain is above safe storage moisture content, spoilage is likely within three days. Moisture and warm grain provide an ideal environment for spoilage. Therefore, the grain must be monitored to determine the extent of any condensation and to verify that all the grain has been cooled.
Management is the key to success.
