I brew in the garage, the same place that has sawdust and grinding dust + spiders and general dirt. So I store most stuff inside, in plastic bins. I have a shoebox size plastic bins for kegerator plumbing parts, tap parts, O-rings and corney keg parts, etc. I have a white 20gal "Brute" Rubbermaid Food handling trash can with lid. The big funnel and pitchers go in there, and it doubles as a sanitizer bucket on brew day.. I have a 5 gal bucket with lid that has all my hoses.
The one thing I couldn't find decent storage for was the long stuff (Car boy brush, racking canes, stir spoon, auto-siphon, etc). They were laying sideways in the wife's pantry, collecting dust, and I would occasionally be yelled at when a can of beans was set on an unseen racking cane, fall over, and drop 4 feet from the top shelf. This stuff is too long to fit in a spare Corny, and needed their own home.
Still with me? Why the big buildup? Because I'm crazy and built a storage container that costs more than the implements inside.
4" PVC DWV Pipe - Home Depot would only sell me a 2 foot (not long enough) or a 10 foot section. I bought the ten feet for 25$, just to use 32" of it. Now I have 7 feet of massive pipe in the garage.
4" Endcap, something like 7$
4" Female to thread 4$
4" Threaded cap 3$, and btw is mostly water tight, but will leak a little if just tightening by hand.
Had PVC cement and primer at home. Finally something free!
Anywho, if anyone else wants to spend 40$ for a spoon holder, here's one way to do it. Just thought I'd share how a small idea, became a compulsive overspend.
