Review on FastRack Bottle Drying Rack & Tray Kit - Bottle Drying Tree Alternative; Efficiently Dry or Store Your Beer, Wine or Bomber/Belgian Bottles; Must-Have Addition to Your Home Brewing Supplies by Nathan Theriault

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Robust and compact bottle holder!

I actually bought this FastRack to replace one of those old school round plastic bottle racks that was the only viable option when I first started brewing beer. My bottle tree had stacking rings and could hold up to 90 bottles but was bulky and awkward to handle. It didn't store well because it's round, the bottles hang from hooks and the whole thing wobbles and rattles if you trip over it. It was difficult to move because it couldn't be lifted or the rings would fall apart. Only benefit was the pump bottle sanitizer that was on top. On the other hand, FastRack is easy to stack, very stable when you put bottles of the same size in all four corners, has handles for easy moving even when loaded, has compact size. (usually the size of a 24-bottle case) and is of the usual rectangular shape. Bottles are held by the neck so nothing touches the inside, which is important when using it to store clean and sanitized bottles. They also sit on their heads to keep everything going. When you buy this set you will get a drip tray to keep your floor or shelf clean. The price is good and it's made in the USA! You can store in old crates or plastic bags, but this really is the perfect place to store bottles.
