Hello BOTL brothers.
General discussion time, how many of you use your wineador as a daily humidor and how many of you use it strictly use it for long term storage?
I thought I would share my setup and try to share my experience with some of the brothers who have Wineador problems and issues.
I see a lot of people spending a lot of money for stuff in their wineador they don't really need. There isn't need for tempature controls or auto fans switches.
The best thing I can say is decide up front what do you want to do with your wine cooler. If you are going to be using your wine cooler as a daily humidor you are always going to have a lot of humidity stability issues. I know during a weekend I might be in my desktop a dozen times digging through picking sticks. If you are doing that to your wineador it will cause constant drop of humidity in your cabinet so you will also be recharging your beads more often and that in turn swings humidity from dry to wet. I know I don't like when my Wineador gets up to 70% humidity, I'm just kinda anal like that I am a big 65% humidity freak. So in short if you are using your cooler as a big desktop you are going to be doing a lot of fighting with a steady RH balance.
I chose to keep my desktop for daily use and my wineador is for long term storage and aging. Long term storage means opening the door as little as possible, also the fans are used to simply stir the air in the wineador every so often. one last thing, (2) lbs. of beads is plenty of humidification for the entire wine cooler and all the boxes you can fit in it.
Feel Free to PM me with any questions you might have.
My Wineador and Newair 28 bottle wine cooler
My Inventory, the boxes on the bottom are all empty, used to take up air space and retain humidity balance.
Oregon Scientific makes some of the best quality temp/humidty monitors
Here is the extent of my wiring (2) cpu fans wired into a converter plug
Here is the only humidification I use (2) Lbs. 65% humidity beads
Isn't it pretty, cool blue lights.
Here is my 100 count glass top humidor, my daily selection of cigars.
I use (1/2) Lbs. of 65% humidity beads, but also keep my spare Bovida packs from my travel case in the desktop.
last the other wireless sensor from Oregon Scientific. Accurate to +/- 1% over 8 yrs. of use.
