I have a 10'x2' closet in the basement 2 of the walls are foundation and stay fairly cool. The other 2 walls, I have insulated so when the French doors are installed the temperature should stay around 65-68 F.
The racks are 2 bottles deep. Total capacity is 504 750 ml bottles with room for 24 1500 ml bottles on the top.
I used the metal grid instead of vertical wood because that allowed an additional column of storage (84 bottles) by eliminating the thickness of those vertical supports.
This is area is for racks only. The wine making area will be in the boiler/mechanical room. I will start that as soon as these racks are completed in the "closet"
Stage 1. Emerald Ash borer and fallen ash trees.
Stage 2. Cut 210 pieces 1 5/8 x 3/4 x 22 (that does not include pieces against the wall, 84 pieces 3/4 x 3/4 x 22 there that aren't shown).
Step 3. Sand and nocth all the center rails
Step 4. Stain using thinned Minwax with a garden sprayer
Step 5 install rails onto metal grid. I am pinning a nail across the angled notch to secure the rail.
I will post more pix when it is completed
