This will impart some amazing flavors into your mead.

FastRack Bottle Rack

I like to reuse beer bottles to bottle my homemade mead. My wife always gets mad at me when I leave bottles drying in the dish rack, and bottle trees take up a lot of space. The FastRack is a great solution to store empty bottles. The racks stack on top of each other for easy storage until you’re ready to fill them with your next batch of delicious barrel aged melomel.
