Hi all

Sorta done but still more racks to build but this is what we have so far - - -

was given a few cabinets that seem to work out just fine - there are 6
racks that hold 16 bottles each and 4 plastic milk crates that hold 18
each on the bottom shelf.

need to build more racks for these - probably get at least
6 more racks at 16 bottles each plus the bottom areas - using 4 gallon
milk crates which hold about 18 bottles each. Looks like I can
get 4 crates in space plus a few bottles on the side.

from back left IM White Strawberry Merlot; IM Wildberry Shiriz;
MM Amarone; WE Gewerztraminer and WE Cab . In front 1 gallon
glass is fresh Strawberry; Blackberry and Peach. In house,
where a little warmer is a 1 gallon glass of Ancient Mead going.



Ran out of airlocks (only had 18!!) so had to use a glove finger!!!

Anyway this is what we now have - the a/c keeps room at 62-65 degrees 24/7.



Still waiting on the electric bill!!!! Hope that the meter is not
flying off the axle out there!!!!!!! Let you know later - - -

Looks great! I would show you pictures of mine, but I am embarrassed. We will have a nice wine making area in the new store.
