So, what should I do with the remaining 40 pounds of Pale Ale Malt that is not crunchy?  It's not bad, and I transferred it to my sealed container so it should not get worse, I guess.  Start brewing a ton of double IPA's ASAP?

Dog treats... You could try to make beer with it but, I'm not sure how that would taste.

You could toast it gently in a warm oven til crispy again. Keep the temp under about 100f

Soft malt could be damp from humidity, which is fine unless it starts to get mouldy, or soft because insects have been eating it, which, from experience, will cause a drop in efficiency.  Once you use some and find out how the efficiency is, you can adjust your recipes accordingly.

I would say it's soft from humidity not insects.  Just took my refractometer reading for this batch and I'm at 67% off from a consistent 80%.  Looks like I just made my first light beer...... :-[
