We love good home-brew. Home-brewers can now use self storage to store all their equipment, your family will thank you. Equipment used in home-brew can be quite smelly, but self storage is here to save you. Just store it right and cleanly.
Storage Tips for Home-brewers
Hooks, always
Hooks are very much under-appreciated. They help to keep things off the ground like spoons, thermometers, canes, and brushes. Every good home-brewer knows that sanitation is the most important part of any good brew, hooks help immensely with keeping things clean.
Shelving
You can start to see a theme here, off the ground. Using shelving to store larger items like fermented. Keeping your fermentors off the ground keep the dust, bugs, and anyone from knocking them over. You can buy some cheap plastic shelving from any home store and place them inside your storage unit for just this reason. It also helps things stay neat.
Climate
If you are planning on storing raw ingredients inside your storage unit, you need a climate-controlled unit. These are very temperature sensitive and can spoil very easily if not taken care of properly. It is also very important if you are planning to store your finished beer for a long time, make sure that you have safe and space that won’t be disturbed.
Cabinets
If there is one thing we can assure, if you follow this list you will have the most organized unit on the lot. Grab some filing cabinets and use those for bottle storage. Each compartment can be a different type of beer, one can even hold some beer accessories. If you plan to bottle in your unit, make sure that the door is open, beer can be very stinky. Always make sure to get permission before starting your own beer company in our units.
Don’t store your expensive brewing equipment improperly, or it will cost you quite a lot to replace later!
