Default the perfect winemaking space

Keith:

Don't think there's much to it but the obvious really. I'm in the
process of putting together a 'winery' too.

Been thinking about efficient use of space, such as carboy shelves
[floor to ceiling] in corners instead of along the walls, hanging
cabinets to keep counter space clear, tool caddies such as in a shop
for frequently needed items, hydromoeter, thermometer, racking tubes,
etc.

Just about decided on a big plastic laundry sink. I know, not elegant
or cool. But, it holds a carboy if I need to quickly warm or cool
must in a water bath, holds 2 cases of bottles for soaking,
indestructible, cheap.

A small table or barrel half, a 2 seater park style bench, and a bar
stool will be in there for tastings!

What else?

Steve
