So after some talking a week or so ago, my wife agreed that I need more space for my brew stuff. We wanted one single place to put everything and the best place was the closet in the office. Once I agreed to let her get some tubs for the stuff in there (crafting stuff), I was able to take over the closet!! As of today the closet is finished and I thought I would share. Looking into the closet. Those are empty bottles against the back wall there: Left side of the closet. Container on the shelf has trays for brew day, bottling day and ingredients. My chiller is sitting in the tray I use to bottle and that is sitting on the tub I use for grain. Some random stuff on top of the shelves. Right side of the closet. Top shelf has the star-san and my party pig stuff. Shelves hold carbing bottles. Closet stays at 68* right now so it works well. Those plastic trays are amazing for hauling batches around as well. another part of the agreement was that I needed a beer fridge. after looking on CL for a while and not finding anything, we started looking for a new fridge for the house so I could use the old one. We found a great deal on one and got it delivered last week. Old one has been in the garage since.

Lookin good, especially the fridge! thanks!! too much commercial stuff right now but I need the bottles. Got the pigs in there too and the stuff in the door is what i'm saving for later. had most of that stuff in the door for a few months now. cam't bring myself to drink them!! Looks great man! Nice pictures, and looks like you are way better organized than me. Just one comment tho.... The wreath has got to go! Everything else- perfect! another part of the agreement was that she still had access to the top couple shelves so not much I can do about that wreath!!

It only takes a tiny amount of work to go from beer fridge to kegerator. don't i know it!! the worst part is that tonight i figured out that my houses wet bar is exactly on the other side of the wall from where the garage fridge is. it would be ridiculously easy to do remote taps.

exactly right natty, once everything is out of the way she can't really bother me about it. not that she does.
it's also nice when people come to visit. Everything sits in the closet in a room we don't use that often so it's not out and visible.
