New Wine Room Design

[crushday]

I have a bottle washer in the 1st sink, 2nd sink has EasyClean in it, then to a manual sprayer with no-rinse chlorine sanitizer, and onto the bottle tree.

Isn’t chlorine the last chemical you want in a wine space?

I'm considering a model like this one:

We have this one in our kitchen since 2018. We really like it and the price was very reasonable. They probably have other color options. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B078Q5QFKQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

I'm happy you like it! I'm looking for plain 'ole stainless steel, as it's for my wine area.

Actually, the trade name is BeerClean, it's a no-rinse sanitizer and the go to final rinse in bars. My wife, who has a chef's grade palate, can not distinguish any taste difference before or after the BeerClean is used.

Now, with that said, it seems I was mistaken about the ingredients. I am posting the MSDS ingredients list for clarification.

Bleach is what you absolutely want to avoid.

After many delays, work has started on my wine room. The new room is framed in. I will have 91 sq.ft. of floor space. Electrical will go in next week. This room is built in a space at the back of my extra deep garage. If anyone is curious, the little cut out you can see in one corner is because I don't want the electrical panel in the wineroom, and I don't want to try to move it.

There are a few things to resolve, e.g. the ceiling is at two different heights, and flooring needs to be added on one site.

I am in the process of designing a new wine room and I thought I'd ask for your suggestions. We have a space at the back of the garage that is set up as an exercise room, which we don't really need. We plan to move in interior wall to make it a bit wider and will end up with a space that is about 12' x 8'. Our house has a heat pump, and according to the former owners it is capable of supporting another head. So I think we can put a heat pump head in the wine room for heating and cooling. Of course we will need to add insulation.

What I know I need:

• Large sink with hot and cold water
• Lots of counter space (probably at least 12')
• Shelves for supplies, empty bottles and carboys
• Wine bottle rack
• Exhaust fan
• Refrigerator and small microwave
• Plenty of electrical outlets and lights

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on what you would include (if possible) when setting up a wine room. If you have a wine room or would like to have one, what would be the most important features?

Raptor99,
