beerandraiderfan ... WHAT THE ****?

OK, it feels good to have never contributed these to BA, but whip them out to BT within a month of joining. I have another fridge or two I don't have pics of, and a few more wine racks.

I'll get them uploaded next time I have a really slow Friday like today.

We need to get together, if for no other reason than to show my wife that my cellar(s) are reasonable. I'll help with the Bruery backlog

Not much to look at, but here's my crappy-ass closet cellar and trading/packing storage area:

You store quite a few things with caps on their sides. How long have you been doing this for, and have you seen any significant difference between bad bottles stored on their sides due to rusty/bad caps compared to those you store vertically? You have a very nice collection of alcohol sir.

Thank you for the compliment! And there's still a few racks I haven't taken pics of!

Been storing beer since the late 90s, although it really didn't take off numbers wise (Bigfoot, VEs) until I moved to the middle of nowhere and had a dedicated cellar.

You can see some of the same bottles stored in some areas horizontally, in others, vertically. Never had anyone proclaim they could tell what was stored how. There's been quite a bit of beer drank in that time. But yeah, I need to get on it even more, we've got a backlog!

I said I'd take some pictures of my shelves now that they're decently full, and since I was adding some stuff today, I finally got around to it! So here they are:

Shelves 1&2:

Shelf 3:

That weird white box to the side:

The stuff in the box is Eclipse, RR beers, random small bottles (at this point mostly Pannepot), and some Stone/Deschutes/FW things. This box is being hit really hard as I've decided that most of that **** doesn't age. Fortunately, it's Eclipse season again, so it'll be filled back up soon.

Those racks are baller as hell.

Girl sees wine racks. Interest rises.
Girl finds out you made the wine racks yourself? Swooooon!

When does a girl randomly wander around your basement...?

When does a girl randomly wander around your basement...?

Nothing random about it.

"Hey baby, tell your girls let's ditch this joint and bring the afterparty to my place. I think I have a bottle or two down in the wine cellar you girls can pick anything you wanna open."

Next thing you know you're banging her friend while she's got her face buried in your gf's box, thinking, "you know, it doesn't get much better than this."

Am I smooth, rich and good looking? Sure. But not really. Its the cellar that makes it all happen. And if I could tell girls I also made those wine racks? ****. Endless possibilities.

Don'tdrinkbeer. Use it as bait.

rule #1, girls r for sex, not drinking beer. using beer for sex is only acceptable when its a macro lager, or when it's also for tricking them into marriage.

Your approach is incredibly similar to mine, but by the time I get them back to the cellar, I am slurring my words, spilling all over myself, and craving fourth meal like a ************.

If I recall correctly I gave you some 6-pack holders at Dark Lord Day in 2010. Interesting to actually see what happened to them.

Yeah, you know it. That project started in 1998. Well over 1000 different ones now (**** almost that many from CA alone). Thanks to everyone like yourself who has contributed.

Anyways, I think there is a Midwest wall pic, heavy on the Wisconsin of course. . .

My basement cellar as of 6ish months ago...

Many of those bottles have since been drank, but the total # of bottles down there hasn't gotten much smaller.

(Yes, this is a California basement...)

With really big cellars...how do you keep track of it all? When you want a beer, how do you decide what to open and then find it?

Define "really big". My cellar is around 300 bottles, and I keep track of it on a google doc. For every day drinking I have some beers in my normal fridge or kegerator. For fancy tastings (or whatever) I just pick something out and go get it. I keep everything pretty organized, so even if I don't know exactly what I have, I do know generally where everything is.
