Wine cellar

[petey]

Here's the start of Petey's cellar. I got the wine rack from a thread posted awhile back. I used lots of stuff I had laying around so the whole bench and racks were less than $100, but the ladder racks are time consuming and you sure make lots of sawdust lol

Very nice. It sure is nice to have the extra space that is needed for this hobby.

I'd hit double "like" but it won't let me!

Looks pretty good!!!!! I see you have a pepsi keg under your counter, are you planning on kegging a wine?

Thinking of a hard apple cider.. The ladies in the house would enjoy it I think. But I do have a stout beer ready also. So nice to have options

Wow! With my new digs in Petey's cellar, it sure was work racking my first 2 carboys. everything is down there except the kitchen sink LOL. That's the next project
I may need some carpet or something, it's tough scooching around the carboys on my bench top. Any ideas?

Petey, very nice start on your wine cellar. If I may make a comment though, you're going to need a whole lot more carboys ! LOL, Bakervinyard

Nice space. A sink is a must.

Put a folded up old t-shirt under your carboys and they will slide easier. Just hold the edges of the shirt up against the carboy and away you go. I would have suggested putting on a laminate top but it would be a crime to cover up your nice wood counter

cheers

Always in the search for more carboys,I've actually have too many empty ones right now

The t shirt idea is right up my ally as I use them to cover my filled carboys also. Thanks

I built a "scooching table". It is about 12 inches off the floor made of 2x4 frame and a plywood base. On top of the plywood I glued a cut sheet of smooth tile board.

I bought a cheap trow rug and cut it in about 18 inch squares and place the carpet side down and the carboy sits on that. I want to make some carpet "jackets" to keep the car boys from clanging around.
