Here's the deal, I want to setup the cellar with some level of organization so I'm not digging through 4 different boxes of jars looking for the one jar left I have some some blend.
I have a pretty large amount of shelf space I can use (industrial style shelves that are like 1' x 3'), and a ton of empty cardboard boxes still from the moving in. I can also easily put dedicated storage into the basement (though it's not really temperature controlled at all, and it's musty and damp down there). I have a mix of factory sealed tins, and bulk that I have moved to canning jars. All the jars have labels so I know what is in them, and most have the date I sealed the jar up on the label as well.
So, how do you gents organize the stash? I was thinking alphabetical by blend name, so like A -C in a box labeled A-C, and so on. Another thought was an area where stuff that I just wanted to age for years to go into, then alphabetical on the rest that I am more likely to want to grab something from now for the daily drivers, so to speak. So, ideas and thoughts?
