I made a table to hold my carboys. I ferment in my home office and I have limited space available. But I have this gap between my liquor cabinet and my bookshelf, just over 4 feet. Up until now I've been using a poor fold out plastic table and my carboys were starting to lean into the center... I was scared the table would collapse! I made this one black to match my other furniture. I used slate style Armstrong tiles, 18 inch square, sticky-back tiles on the top shelf. The slats on the bottom are supported underneath and strong enough to hold full carboys. The table is higher than I figured it would be. I wanted to make sure there was enough space on the bottom shelf to hold a 6 gallon carboy with airlock. Overall cost including paint, $131. Biggest cost was the legs since I paid extra to get glue-lam oak, which was the strongest available 2x2 size. My office still smells like lacquer.
Carboys from left to right:
Island Mist Mango Citrus Symphony (still clearing)
Apfelwein (aging)
VR Reisling (aging)
Empty, planning a raspberry pee at the wife's request
And the 1 gallon (and bottle) have the carrot wine, clearing slow and steady
Fermenting bucket is empty
