The Auswine Forum

+1 on the Woodlands suggestion (my favourite, small/friendly and love their wine) Also, Aravina Estate (the old Amberley I think) - been there a few times now. You get the full experience here, the sights, the smell and that lingering after taste of desire = magical - but that is me and I love cars ...

Casp I reckon just go for it - 75mm insulation is pretty good (and should help slow the variations I guess), I went 25mm to try and save space My issue was that the thermal mass of the house would see my room climb to high 20's during summer (and that would last for days), so I went with a cheap air...

Yes, found those ($1200+), bugger

Cheers

All

From what I have read, this is not a particularly good vintage, but chasing one for a 40th

Seems to retail for around 350-500 mark, but cant seem to find one in stock (online search)

I am Perth, are there local shops I should be trying?

cheers

Very nice

Racks I am sure there are cheaper options around, the 2.2k was for 4 different ones (550 bottles total) -full price list is here http://www.wine-cellar-racks.com.au/connoisseur%20wine%20cellar%20racks.htm , Freight was a killer for me Unfortunately the room is an odd size with the underside of the s...

Ok, update Room is nearly complete, still needs; Some shelving (for Random bottles, Champers etc) Lighting (replace the ugly fluro) Started filling up the racks (and downloaded "cellar tracker" - like that, drinking window is useful for a novice like me), sure it will all change but at the...

So got a general question for those that have looked into it.. If you get a ducted system, is it pretty easy to get it connected to your existing ducting system in your house (if you have one?) I would thought it would be quite easy to duct into a cellar - issue would be that the temp in there may ...

OK - go a bit further last night Racks are assembled (impressed with the quality) but not bolted to the walls yet (paint still wet) General layout is there, left room for boxes and some shelving etc http://www.members.iinet.net.au/~gbader/cellar/racks1.jpg http://www.members.iinet.net.au/~gbader/cel...

I've just bought a new 'old' house that has one of those giant car/mechanic pits in the garage. I was thinking I might be able to do something with it in terms of a cellar. I've heard of them being used for cellar storage with varying degrees of success. . I would love to have the mechanics pit - i...

Thanks for the comments everyone, will post more pics (racks sitting on a pallet at home, just delivered) Does any of your cellar space share an external wall, or are your stairs in the middle of the house? The back wall (RHS of the base of the stairwell) is double brick external - that is where the...

I got a heap of useful info from David’s (daver6) post about his, so hopefully my build helps someone else Basically -what I wanted was a room to store wine (boxes and racks) that is a reasonable temp (as in stable), I am aiming for 18 degrees on the temp front (trying to balance running cost...

Understand, thanks for the info This is not going to be a cheap exercise - the one I listed (Koolr) seems to get mixed reviews online (well, mixed might be a bit generous), have sent them an email to see if they will ship here My plan is to proceed firstly with the insulation (need that anyway), alr...

daver6 I am going through a similar problem - have a great room in a new (to us) house about the same size as yours but atm it cannot get below around 23 degrees (full brick and concrete, internal). Accept that this is summer but in Winter with heaters, don't expect much change. Insulation Like your...
