I'm moving to a new house. I live in a cabin now and use a converted closet to store my commercial and home-brews. I'm moving to a house that finally has a full basement / cellar and keeps at ideal temperatures for my beer to mature. It also has a nice basement that will work great for brewing beer / having a man-cave. I'm pretty happy.
The issue is..moving everything.
I have 500+ commercial beer bottles + 6 full carboys + a full size fridge that's a kegerator and 6 kegs full of beer.
====
Yes, I have furniture but this is my important stuff. I'm really worried about driving all of this 2 hours and can't fit it all in my Toyota Corolla. so I'd have to either load it all on the U-Haul or take multiple car trips. Most of the bottles and kegs, I'm not worried about.
The carboys are another story. So, how do I move carboys? I imagine they should all stay up right, out of the light but I guess I should visit my local grocery and buy some egg crates? I figured egg crages with each carboy wrapped wrapped in bubble wrap is the best I could do and hope they don't fall over in the back of the moving truck?
------
And I guess I don't tell my movers they're transporting beer because, across state lines...is not legal but oh well. It's all for personal consumption.
Any moving tips from people who have done this before?
