Plastic boxes for beer?

[pc_trott]

More noob questions:

I've read in here that many of you place your freshly bottled beer in plastic storage boxes to make it easier to clean up after any possible bottle bombs. I checked out some storage boxes at local stores, but didn't find one that had the right dimensions for a case of beer. They're all too big for a single case, and too small for two cases. If you use this method, where did you get yours?

Also, when you have a lot of empty bottles, but no original cases, what's your preferred method of storing them?

Whereabouts are you based?I live in the UK and use a perfectly good 45l plastic box that you can fix a lid to.
I also used it to condition the beer using water and an aquarium heater.

Milk crates work well for holding a case of 12oz bottles for storage when empty or conditioning.

What temperature do you set the aquarium heater for? And are you conditioning the beer after you've added the sugar and bottled it? (Okay, I admit it, I'm a noob.)
