Copperstill Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I would like to see some pictures of how everyone is storing their hoses in between use. When I worked in the wine industry I saw a bunch of variants on this that allowed the hoses to drain while in the rack. I just don't have the wall space to use that format where I am at right now. I am sure that I can come up with a solution myself, but thought that someone out there might have invented a better mouse trap. This not being an essential proprietary element to production I figured everyone new, and old could benefit from seeing each others take on how to do this.

Denver Distiller Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Get a pulley from McMaster-Carr and hang them vertically. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 If you're using cam lock couplers, then a dead "manifold" that has a number of male coupler ends on it would allow you to hook the hoses up and leave them hang vertically. If you made it an actual manifold you could hook up a water supply to flush your hose after use as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copperstill Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 I was my hope this thread could be a visual reference to others besides my self when they decide to build a hose rack. Please shoot a photo of you drying rack and post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhynorange Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Always wrestling with this one.... I know there is a better solution than this but for our longer hoses, we use some wire carts and lay the coiled hoses on their side. It works, but I know it could be better.

MG Thermal Consulting Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 There is a company in Indiana, Reelcraft, that manufacturers spring loaded and electric motor hose reels, but I don't know if they make sanitary reels. Worth a phone call. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
