Default Sink set ups? What you got?

So I am still fitting out my workshop into a wine making lab.

I have been looking at a plastic utility sink either single size or double.

What do you all have for sinks and what do you wish you could have? What type of faucets or threaded fittings for attachments do you recommend?

I am considering two small utility sinks side by side in order to have two faucets with various sprayers and fittings. One downside to the larger double sink is that it is only set up with one faucet.

Post up some pictures and comments please! I really want to do this right!

I have a single plastic utility sink.

I wish it was a triple stainless.

It will likely end up being a double stainless, or anything as long as it's at least a double.

What I need more of is counter space ....

I have a deep single utility sink. What I really wish I had was a deep double stainless sink with a long counter that drained into it. They can be had at most used restaurant places but they're expensive. Next a large commercial faucet for it and a separate faucet with a bottle rinser permanently attached to it. Thats my ideal dream sink.

I have a double utility sink in the basement with 1 spigot. I can soak bottles in one side and sill have the other available for use. I did think about connecting 2 T's in the lines and running a couple shutoffs to a hose connections so that I can utilize my carboy wand as well as the spigot but haven't gotten that far. I really need to go a good cleaning this summer in the cellar and get rid of some junk.

This is what my father in law just installed for me in my basement, I LOOOOOVE it! It is huge! It doesn't have the divider in it, it is just one big sink, which I like. (Others may like it divided).

I have a canning sink. Left sink is larger and deeper, right sink is normal sink size.. Allows us to rack from the counter top to the lower sink on the left with ease.
