just got my winemaking kit and am wondering where I am going to set
up. I'd like to hear where everybody keeps their stuff.

I am pretty lucky, I think: My basement has two areas, a cooler area, of
which used to be a garage, and the other part which has our wood
furnace/wood storage and my laundry room. In my laundry room, I have
sink a table that holds either a carboy and a primary or, as is the case
now, two carboys. I have a pegboard where I hang my tubes, hoses,
brushes,and spoons and I have shelves for other incidentals. My
laundry keeps a pretty constant temperature 65 - 70F, most of the time.

If the temperature really dips down here in New Brunswick, I put
whatever I have fermenting on a little cart and move it closer to the
furnace.

The other part of my basement is much cooler, and about seldom climbed
higher than 60F even on the hottest days last summer. My new "Hobby" is
getting off the ground (have a Gwertztramener and a blackberry cabernet
on the go for summer sipping) I have plans on building an insulated
cupboard along one of the (cooler) outside walls to make sort of a "wine
cellar". The temperature in that cupboard should be no greater than the
high 50's.
