Or, if you're like me, you forget it for a few (like 6) days at a time.. then spend the next 6 days recovering from your one night of "catch-up".

Now that's what I call an adventure
 
Awesome idea. I brought several cases of German beer back with me back in 95 so I have a few racks for such a project. Ausgescheischnet!

SWEET!

But, just one a day??

To solve the problem of just one, there could be pipes coming out the back of the box at an angle for each day filled with more bottles (6 should do). Drainpipes might be around the right size - time for a trip to the hardware store. (maybe that would be a good storage system - 12 bottles per pipe. easy to carry to parties... just sling it over the shoulder, stick on end in the eski leaning against the wall and as you drink the beer just put the empties back in the top ready to be carried home. :drunk:
 
Nice Orfy!

It's no fair my kids get a calendar they look forward to. Finally, one for the adults!

You know, that would really be a great marketing tool for a commercial brewery to use to promote their product. It would be easy to do, as it would only require a simple change to the top of the box.:mug:

That is a great idea!!

Ed: You meant to say "ausgezeichnet", right? Excellent!!

You mean racks like these? : I have 15 1/2 pictured here, of which 5 1/2 cases are conditioning (to be lagered) and another 3 1/2 cases in the garage lagering...:D :D :D

Holy Mother of God!! IS that your storage room? That's pretty impressive!!
 
Yes, it is, but you're only seeing a part of it. I also have 2 cabinets with glasses up the wazoo.

I also have 2 stainless steel medical cabinets where I store all the equipment: hoses, canes, syphons, washers, caps, etc.

The large boxes are 55# malt (they are on a dolly for easy moving) and the boxes have bottles in them. Behind the malt and underneath the shelves there are also about a dozen cases of mead and conditioning brews.:D

Oh please, let me volunteer. :D

Hey, just leave me whatever you want. ;)

:off: Sorry to thread-jack Orfy. What are you going to use as the keggerator? And what kind of taps are you thinking?
