Milk crates

Post by evanisnor » Sat Nov 15, 2014 9:25 pm

I found this awesome thread on grain storage; now I find myself harassing the poor grocery store bakery employees for icing buckets. Any tips on procuring milk crates inexpensively? Looking to improve my bottle storage.

Thanks :D

Those were so grimy. Still dirty. But I think you can buy new fairly cheap.

Could you put them in a dishwasher, take out the top rack if necessary?

You don't need the ski mask or getaway driver, just one of these...

I get mine from the bottle depot. The guys working there always seem happy to get rid of them.
