I've been having a look around for crates to store my full bottles in. At the moment I tend to use plastic bottles as they are more robust than glass and once the beer is in the glass beer is beer. The problem I find is the bottles always fall over in the boxes I keep them in stirring up the sediment, so I'm looking for crates or boxes with a divider for the bottles to keep them upright once i have started drinking from that box.
My options are:
1. Buy one, but they dont seem to be cheap
2. Buy a divider, but I have only found smaller boxes, ideally I want to store 20 bottles per box.
3. Buy a box/crate and make my own divider. This is the way I will probably go. Get a cheap storage box and cut up a cardboard box to make dividers.
4. Build a crate. This may happen at some point, a nice wooden homemade crate for 20 bottles of beer.
How do people on here store bottles and are there any other optioons I should consider. I havent included asking pubs if they have any as I dont know if they throw them out, send them back to their supplier of what. Anyone know if they are likely to let me have some?
And how do you store your bottles?
