Storage of samples

General
1

Dear members,

This might be a weird question, but I was wondering how you guys store all your samples in a proper/neat way? Especially, the people who have larger collections of samples, how do you keep everything organized?
What containers/boxes do you use, if any?
Are you able to keep the samples separated between distilleries/brands?
I’m curious to see your setups!

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Philip

Hi Philip,

I use Euroboxes to storage my samples. So you can built a tower with wheels. How many boxes is a question of how many samples.:sweat_smile:

Hi… good Question. I am not very happy with the way i storage my samples at the moment. I would also like to know, what you would call a larger collection… more than 500? or 1000?

At the moment i have an old IKEA Pax closet 100x35x236 and the samples are sorted in groups like Hampden, New Yarmouth, TDL, etc. But in the larger groups with more than 100 samples it is getting difficult to remember which are there.

I have 2000+ samples and just store them in large heavy duty cardboard boxes :blush:

I was wondering the same thing.

Maybe @KevinDK can chime in?
I believe you have one or two samples? :partying_face::face_with_peeking_eye:

EDIT: what timing :wink:

But where do you storage the boxes :sweat_smile: i had boxes, but they got very heavy in the end. Important of course like with big bottles.. storage must be dark, dry and not to hot in the summer.

Im Zweifel Keller.

Aber die Frage stellt sich ja nicht, du hast ja aktuell auch einen Platz für deine Samples. Da würden Sie dann dementsprechend jetzt auch hinkommen. Gibt bei Obi/Ikea viele Varianten an Kisten. Auch kleinere Versionen, die in Möbelstücke passen. Bspw. Ikea Pax voll mit Plastikkisten usw…

Trinken, nicht bunkern - das ist die Lösung :slight_smile:

Werde mal nach den kleinen Kisten gucken. Macht das raus suchen von Samples leichter.

I’m currently not happy with my storage boxes either…
I have by no means a “large” collection, maybe 100 samples in total, but I was curious about good storage ideas. I also keep all empty sample bottles, so that stacks up as well.
I don’t want to dedicate a separate cabinet to it, so I want to stick with boxes that I can put away.
As you say, keeping track of what you have exactly can be a challenge as well.

You can also use RumX to track your samples. But that wont help you finding them. That will just stop you from buying samples twice…

Actually, I like the idea of Euroboxes a lot!
Thanks for the suggestion! :+1:

Hallo Philip,

Ich lagere auch alles in unterschiedlichen Boxen die alle luftdicht zu verschliesen sind.

Wichtig für mich ist:

Eine Box für allen Proben mit der Bewertung 9,0 und höher. Die sind zum trinken.:face_savoring_food:

Alle anderen sind verpackt in Boxen und die Box hat eine Nummer.

Dafür habe ich eine Liste im PC mit RX Nummern die einer Box zugeordnet ist.

Somit kann ich einen Sample auch wieder finden.

LG Armin

Und die unter 9,0 hast du nur zur freudigen Ansicht? :man_shrugging:t3::thinking::wink:

Alles unter 90 untrinkbar :rofl:

Wird mal wieder Zeit unseren Dauer-Bewertungs-Thread rauszukramen und wieder aufzuwärmen.
