Would anyone care to share how they choose to store their green beans? I'm a roaster starting out and I've been reading voraciously. I see how temperature and humidity play a role, how surrounding smells play a role, etc...but so far no suggestions about how to address the issue. Do I need a giant freezer? Do roasters pay for climate controlled storage? Do you just keep the beans in a burlap sack and hope for the best? That sounds like a risky proposal to me because so much can happen from the time you receive your beans, presumably in the same state as when leaving the point of origin, to when you're ready to roast them. Thanks for any input!
