Title: Penguin's Wineador!
Post by: BewareDaPenguin on 05/01/2014 04:17 PM
Sooooo as a few geeks have also stated they quickly run out of storage after joining the site, I too fell victim of this slippery slope :biggrin: so I did what any normal geek would do, build a wineador!! I had Forrest at Wineador.com build the shelves, and although it took an excessively long time (about 11 weeks) they shelves finally arrived and they do look great, and fit perfect!! I purchased a hydra off the devils site and also have jars of the black ice on each shelf, overkill but that's the geek in me :-) So just wanted to share I got a great deal on the wine fridge and it will contribute to my habit and hold around another 250-300 sticks since my aging table is getting quite full!! The added storage will come in handy!! Seasoning it now, sticks to go in next week!! THANKS CIGAR GEEKS!!! :lmao:

Looking good! My wife just got a new wine cooler, so I'm thinking about stealing her old cooler and making it into a wineador. Won't be near as big or nice as this one though!

Nice custom made trays, sweet setup.

That thing could store more than 300 sticks, couldn't it? Those trays look huge.

Well, I listened to you piss and moan for weeks upon weeks about the shelves not coming, but in the end it was worth it, lol!  I know somebody around your house who won't be happy about you trying to fill it though!

Awesome!

What temp do you keep it set at?

This fridge gets cold quickly and actually won't stay at a hot enough temp, so I don't need to have it on very often it holds at 68-70 with it off, I plug it in couple times a day to keep the air moving. It's got 2 nice fans on each level, thinking about putting it on a timer so I don't have to mess with it & it will take care of itself :biggrin: put another hygrometer on the top shelf to make sure everything is kosher and there's beads throughout on every shelf to stabilize the humidity. The hydra is overkill but I'm kinda geeky about making sure it stays right and consistent! Gonna load sticks in this weekend! It's been running for 4 days and everything looks good! :-)

I'm sure you don't need a reminder, but make sure that we get some photos once it's loaded up.

I didn't waste much time filling my table up :lmao: I got quite a bit of help with geek buys & bombs :-) hopefully the wineador full photos won't be for a while lol but we will see  :biggrin:

So just convince her you'll need a bigger wineador to do so and you can share one... Dual-Zones exist for a reason!

The wineador is nice but after all the money into it, I would actually just but another table humidor. The temp control is nice but the house stays around 70"ish most of the year so the table humidor hasn't fluctuated that much in all honesty. Its also been a bit more work because the oasis runs more frequently with the lower temp so I have to fill it more often then the table, even with extra fans. It also doesn't hold as many sticks as I thought it would either!
