Not sure how long, but I have grain crushed for 6 months with no noticeable difference. Not sure what has changed but years ago it was considered better to crush grains a week or more before you needed to use them.

Will it hurt to hold it after it's ground ? and for how long?

The secret is to to stop it absorbing moisture otherwise in Brewspeak it becomes Slack. I think I remember reading that three months is the longest advisable storage period in ideal conditions.
 
I've been told in DMG malting plant that uncrushed malt should be used within 3 months... ;)

But I don't care. I use 25 kg bag within 4. :D
 
Thanks for the input everyone. Making my own malt and read some place about storing it in paper bags for six weeks be for use.but didn't say ground or whole.
 
I keep my grain (whole and crushed) in a plastic bin with a lid and I place one of THESE demudifiers on top of the bags of grain in the bin to keep it dry.

Obviously do not use the fragranced versions....
