At the new brewspace we are going to lose much of our storage space because we will not have a loft space. Shelving is going to be a must.
I found this via Craigslist...not sure how good the quality is:

If any other members have or know of some industrial strength shelfs please let us know ASAP.

Iggy has some quality shelving at his work, we need someone to go get it though.
See this thread if you can help:

if i have access to the van (which is never guaranteed, just gotta be flexible), i can bring it. this isnt going in the trash like the Cosi stuff. but it would make sense to bring it straight to the new place not the current BH

I feel like we could build some on the cheap: 2x4s,2x8s and supported plywood with a thin stainless sheet on top of each shelf would look nice
Yeah, if we're going to build something from scratch, I'd rather not use plywood around wet areas. Espically if there is metal shelving on offer.
I don't know how many of them would fit in my truck(The Danger Ranger), but I am sure I can help out when the time comes. Can't do it for a couple weeks, though.
i think the ranger would work fine. it will just stick out the back is all

OK, I guess we will figure out the timing once we have access to a new home then.
Can we take the current loft with us? We could use that wood to build shelving at the new place.
i wouldnt disturb that lead painted wood.

I just joined, and hopefully will be there tomarrow morning for the floor demo...but, I have built many high load shevles and depending on how things look I may be able to help build something that will be custom to the space.
The shelving discussed at the last meeting (7 more units of the type behind the bar now) has been ordered and will arrive at the brewhouse on Saturday. Whoever is they please bring it inside, and feel free to assemble some/ all of it.
I'll be there Saturday.
Oh... my... god. Why haven't we done this? http://thechive.com/2013/09/17/guys-rig-up-buddies-plumbing-with-beer-wh...
I assembled all the shelving and placed it in the back this past weekend. Wasn't able to move grain storage there, but Adam helped with the spacing of the shelves to maximize space. The first, second, and tops can handle grain buckets, the thrid can take carboys and misc. as it was impossible to stack 4 homers with the helight and clearance of the shelves. There is some moving of barrells and misc. that needs to be done in the back though once the storage of items has been moved.
