Bottle Tree? FastRack? NO NEED!

[scoutsbrew]

See attached photo for easy and cheap bottle dryer. I used a large rubbermaid storage bin and drilled holes in the lid. The lid supports the load very well and all of the water or sanitizer collects at the bottom. No mess, no fuss. Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

Looks Great! Does it stay pretty sturdy when it is full of bottles?

 

[scoutsbrew]

It does. I have used different sized bottles and it works great. You can drill the holes however you like.

Thanks for the like.

I used a Rubbermaid Roughneck Storage Box. I got mine for under 20 bucks; or should I say I found it in my attic not in use.

I just emptied out of couple of those that were full of old toys. Must convert to drying tub.

How many can you hold? How smooth is the process on bottling day?

Here's mine. It was only $2200 and holds about 75 bottles.

I can hold and dry 50 bottles with the current setup. The process is very easy. I use another tub filled with sanitizer and set the drying tub next to it.

Just ensure you have correct spacing and hole diameter.
