Sorry, should have used the word evacuate instead of compress, and was looking at this the wrong way. While you may remove some of the air, without a reduction in the volume of space like a vacuum storage bag (hence the comment that it is a solid container) you still have a large volume of air...

1) Curious how this is then sealed and how long the seal lasts. 2) I find it unlikely that the air is compressed much, considering this is a solid container. 3) I generally have moved away from glass to Pet Fermonsters (6.5 and 7.5 gallons). I don't think I could relably seal this to a vacuum...

Can you please expand a bit on this? I've looked at their website and really don't understand how their headspace resolution works .

Splits generally won't work with an exterior temp of under 15 degrees F. Remember the objective is to consistently maintain 55 degrees, even in the winter. They also get covered with snow, have maintenance issues with the winter and weather exposure, etc. Trust me, I much would have preferred...

Hence my question... :-) I assume all your temps are in Fahrenheit. Split system won't work for you. If you are going to bother with this at all, you want to try and maintain 55-56 degrees consistently. You prefer NOT to have fluctuations. If I read your posts correctly, you should have the...

Where are you located and how cold does it get in the worst of the winter (outside)? I have your solution(s). Seth

Well done! Thank you.

Can you please clarify what you did with the Seville rack? I have one, and was planning on adding 2 more at some point.

Very excited for you! The place looks fabulous. What kind of winters do you guys experience in Ohio? Is the through the wall cooling system going to have issues? Please continue to post pictures especially as you build out your cellar.

Thank you for sharing the links! Great project. Very talented. I am just finishing up my cellar and perhaps I will post some pics of the done deal.

Johnd- What labels do you use? The peel off label that I have used from Staples cannot get wet, otherwise they bleed. Would love to see more pics, full size, of your cellar. Just finishing mine. Thanks Seth

You need the airlock and should never go without it, to prevent oxidation AND to prevent contamination by aything else that may be airborne, in addition to bugs.

I have had great experience with the 7.5 gallon fermonsters (morewine.com). They are avail. ported as well. If you go with the port and spigot, order an extra washer and put a washer on both inside AND outside. Just MHO. I don't know what the micro-ox properties are, if any. Candidly, I would...

I know this is an old post, but hoping you reply. 2 questions: 1) You mention O2 permeability. Which ones are O2 permeable, and how permeable are they? Wouldn't this permeability be good to duplicate barrel micro-ox transfer? Would you lose some to evaporation? 2) I have gotten spoiled with the...
