Building the home cellar has taken my bad behavior to a whole new level.

Didn't you just complete a new wine cellar?

Isn't it time for a photo?

Status: offline 		A little over a year ago Dr C limited me to 365 bottles, one for every day of the week if we were to stop buying. I now have ~490 in stock with another 80-90 pending. I really need to set a limit and stick to it, and keep it under 600. Preferably 500 since that is what the cellar comfortably holds.

I think we can find enough people to serve on that jury. But, we will need to examine the evidence... very closely... again and again. And our verdict will be very much dependent upon that sampling.

Status: offline 		Haven't hit the 1000 mark yet. I am limited by storage space. If and when we ever do the closet conversion to a cellar I might have room for 1200. I doubt I would ever go over that. We have been holding pretty steady in the 800's including pendings for at least a few years now and it is serving us well.

Laughing. Well, it is off site. So not too exciting. But you are welcome to come some time! More importantly you get the benefit of it at most of our monthly tastings!

Status: offline 		Some time in the last 2 years I hit 100 bottles. Believe it was when DH found another wine rack at a garage sale for $2 that fits perfectly in a closet. 30 bottle storage capacity added. Two racks, one 50-bottle cooler, vertical space in the pantry for screw cap juice stored upright. Began buying a case here and there, and my 50 bottles doubled quickly. Plan to stay at 100-120. This includes daily drinkers.

Really. Trying. Tempted constantly. Spending time on CT does not help. Too bad.

Sounds like it's time for an Inventory Reduction Party. Pick a date, and we'll see if the Stones are busy that weekend.

I want to be like HRH and S1 when I grow up. Maintaining something in the 800-1000 zone.
I've passed 800, so now the trick is to not pass 1000.

How are you controlling temp & humidity in your new wine cellar?

The unit I keep hearing named is CellarPro.
So I bought one, but it is not installed yet.
It was surprisingly expensive.

If you have a small cellar (less than 1000 cu ft), you can get by with an in-wall model.
These are only coolers. So if your room will drop below 55 degrees in the winter, you will need to add a heater to the room as well.
This is the case with my cellar which is currently under construction.

If your cellar is larger, then you may go for a ducted system. You can add heating elements to those.
