I use these from US plastics for all of the base malts.https://www.usplasti...d=searchresultsit won't hold all 55# of but if you plan on brewing a batch that should take care of the left overs.as for the specialties malts... i use these.https://www.usplasti...24606&catid=574all the Mice have to eat now is the stuff i drop...good luck.I periodically have the same problem here but I think I have found a good solution. For speciality grains I keep them in bags and then store them in 5 gallon buckets with lids on top. I put some shelves in my garage recently too and I am planning to buy a bunch of speciality grains and use some clear plastic screw on lid containers from Wal Mart. For the bulk bags that I have I have bought some 15 gallon Rubbermaid containers at Lowes and just put the bag in there and pop on the lid. I don't have air tight containers for the bulk grains. They stay in the bags with the top rolled down inside the plastic containers, they taste, grind and look as fresh as can be. I think any hard plastic containers will serve you well and deter the mice. The bags are good but they will chew threw them as well. Good Luck I feel your pain.
