Wine uses for coffee cans

[bj4271]

I was just reading some of your tips for cork humidors and thought I'd contribute.


Like Wade, I use a MM all juice bucket for a cork-idor, but I use a cleaned plastic coffee can for the solution. Also keep rubber stoppers in there.


Another use for the coffee cans I just thought of last week: when I had cleaned a couple of carboys after bottling I was looking for a way to dry them when I saw my stack of used coffee cans (I keep used plastic coffee cans for freezing the fish after I fillet it - just dump fillets in can, fill with water-no freezer burn-put on cover & stick in freezer), I just put the carboys upside down with neck in the can - great for glass & plastic carboys.

Sounds cool but how do you get the coffee smell out of them. I have a few of them that I was going to use in a similar fashion as well. I washed them out with various products but still have a coffee aroma when I open one up.

I jusst put them in the dishwasher. I've been stocking them for a while so maybe the smell goes away. I don't notice it much & it doesn't affect anything in the ways I use them.

I don't think I ever completely dry my carboys. After washing, I store then with some Meta solution in them and seal with saran wrap and a rubber band until I use them again.

 

[bj4271]

Good idea Maize. Once mine are dry I'll probably do that. They have to be dried here because of the humidity; a/c or not, they'll get moldy if they aren't dried.

one way to get the coffee smell out is to use them after the fish have thawed out! I know, I know---- smart a++!

 

[bj4271]

You will be punished for that!
