Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Amazing Chris! Nice collection as well!

Anyone in Europe know where I can source this model? I want to move my collection from coolers to a setup like this one.

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Just ordered my New Air..... I hate you Chris!!!!!

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!

Anyway I can help you know I'm right here bro ... if you need some KL or other stuff for the unit let me know, Iv'e got tons left along with a couple media bags if your gonna use those.

Now you got a boat load more room to fill that bad boy up for the next Herf! :tu

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Chris: working on a 280E setup similar to yours. I've cleaned it w/ a distilled vinegar widedown, washed it down with unscented dish soap and aired it out. When it isn't running, I have no plastic smell. When it is running, I get the plastic/new motor smell. It's been running for about 4 days. Any tips on getting rid of that?

I haven't tried the newspaper trick yet. The next step after getting this squared away is putting some empty boxes and DW in. I ordered drawers about a month ago, so they should be ready soon.

Thanks for any insight. Your setup looks great, by the way.

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Very impressive Chris....I like how you have shown the progression from start to finish.....Nice Job

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Hey Chris, I just picked up my 280 and just finished the 1st wipedown with Baking soda and water, going to do a few more tricks that have been mentioned above before I start the filling process. Have you sold are are you ready to get rid of your shelves yet? You have been an incredible help in the process so THANK YOU!!:tu

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Glad the thread helped out so much brother! That was the only reason I wanted to create this build thread was I wanted to help out future BOTL with theirs as well and between here and another forum I have helped Tons so far and that makes me very pleased.

My collection was starting to get out of control but some recent wedding set-backs forced me to sell around 100 premium sticks and I now have plenty of room ... so the thought of buying a drawer system from Forrest and selling the trays won't happen for a while now I think.

If you are going the tray route though I still recommend you getting some trays from Forrest ... he sells the same trays basically for $10 ... and you can also get them for like 3 bucks more a trays to go about 2" deeper and 4" for $7 more more.

The one thing though is for 10 bucks I dont think Forrest trays come with divider and CH.com does ... you may be able to work out a deal with him if you email or PM him.

I would have bought the ones from Forrest if he had these back when I build my cooler that are 2" deeper cause I would have more and I would still I think have room for the palstic trays I got in the back as well.

But I suggest the funds to go to a BOTL on the forums for the 10 dollar trays instead of CH.com ... plus they may be build a little better with pssibly thicker SC wood maybe.

Let me know if I can help out any further with your build brother and good luck! :tu

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Just popping in to say thank you for all your step by step posts man, it really helped. A lot of google searches ended with your build lol, I got a 16 bottle still in progress once its done ill post some pics in the wineador thread.

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

You got it brother ... I'm glad it helped and it makes me excited to know my thread comes up on a lot of google searches for other brothers that may not be part of the forums yet.

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Just wanted to give myself a shameless bump to bring this to the top for any new brothers looking at a new wineador.

Always here to help! :)

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Another shameless bump ... I saw a thread from a new Asylum brother that just signed up asking for links to a thread to help with a wineador build. another brother linked my thread but just wanted to throw this up top so it's visible for other new BOTL looking to get a wineador this new year.

Thanks again guys and I am SO pleased that this thread has helped out so many. :)

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

great job chris:banger

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

wow that looks great! you have done a great job from start to finish :tu i have a 12 bottle but i know i need to upgrade soon, i was thinking about a 18 bottle dual zone (cigars on bottom and chilled bourbon on top) but then i would still be dealing with almost the same area so i guess i will go the 28 bottle route.

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Where did you find that LP-9 decal? I'd love to rock one of those on my truck...

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

I have not been able to get in touch with the brother who had this decal done for me but to put your mind at ease he also sent me a smaller decal thats was just the same as this and I tried to put it on the back window of my charger and it would not work.

This decal was meant for normal applications since all it took really was a wash and rub and cleaning of the back window for it all to just to peel away.

I know of another brother hooking up tons of these different sticker decals for very cheap (a few bucks a decal) if you are interested ... PM me and I will provide you with a link to them.

I loved this decal the day I put it on the cooler ... just ready set it off and made it look really nice.

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Could I get the site for those decals. By the way the wineadors looks great!

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

PM Sent Chris.

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

No site that has these ... and the guy I got this one from I can no longer get in touch with for some reason.

And fromt he above post about another guy I know on another forum ... that deal decal deal is on hold at the moment ... he will be contacting us when and if he is able to possibly get these done.

So unfortunately guys at the moment I do now know anymore or have any contacts that can have these made.

If that changes I will be sure to let you guys know.

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Thanks Chris... I'll have my fingers crossed... :tu

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Rob he is sending me the vector file. If I can get some made I will let you know.

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Vector File Sent! .... let us know if you can find someone to have these made.

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Awesome Zane... Really hope this works out... :D

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

LOOK OUT! My god that slope is ... wow that's steep.. just WOW. A month in and I've got 2 humidors (one empty even) and I'm slip sliding down...

Ok I took the plunge and just bought the newair 28 bottle model ... and I can't decide if I blame or thank you Chris! HAHA

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

I'll take the blame ... I love spending a fellow BOTL's money! :noon

And when it's all said and done and your new wineador looks amazing you can thank me then! :tu

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Deal man. Thanks aga... I mean damn you!

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Did You ever get the forrest draw setup in your cooler?

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Nope I just stuck with the trays ... plenty or room in the trays and used all that extra cash to buy smokes.

Now if I had the extra money then I probably would have ... those drawers just look Amazing!

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Do you have a link to the forrest draws?

Thanks

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Wineadors.com Forest does great work, they are well worth the wait. I just posted some pics in the other wineador thread if you want to see some more examples.

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Sorry if you already covered this, are the dimensions of the trays 12 1/2" W x 7 1/2" D x 2 1/4" H? My AW-280E is on its way and I want to make sure I order the same size trays you have, I love the look (especially with the pulls on). Thanks for the very complete walk through!!!

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Email forrest and tell hime your model number. He will make em to fit.

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Great call on the beads. I've been using it for almost two years now. The same beads have held at 64-65 with water added every three months or so. The RH bumps back up to normal within just a few minutes of opening the coolers as well. And I have about 10lbs I can freshen up with any time I get the urge. Has been such a great solution for me, and I also use the aquarium bags.

The wineador looks great, I'm really jealous of the setup!

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Did anyone make up these decals? Interested.

Thanks.

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Chris - first off,thanks for outlining your progress in setting up your wineador. It gave me that little push over the edge to go for it! My cooler is on the way as I write this.
Any luck in talking you into briefly going over how you set up the kitty litter?
Listen...if you ever travel to the Orlando, FL area, an outing for good beer and even better cigars are on me!

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

I've got a contact for decals. I'll call him tomorrow and find out a price.

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

I'm not sure if there will be any issues but be careful of copyright infringement.

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

You are quite correct (as usual). I will call him and see what he says.

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

I can help here. I just set mine up. SO easy.

Go buy the odorless Exquisicat and about 4-5 of these:

Fill the bags. Not stuffed, but full. I tied off the ends with the draw strings on the bag. I use Heartfelts syringe to add water. Each bag gets 4 of those sprinkled all over the top of the bags.

Lay them in, close the door. On the warmest setting, it's rock steady at 65F and 66RH.

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Scotty-
Appreciate help, brother! What is your wineador project?
RR

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!

I've since filled out the bottom with boxes. Waiting on the drawer units from GolfNut (Forrest) and it'll be finished.

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Did you say that actually pour water (shoot a syringe at) the kitty litter? And could if so could I drip distiller water on the bag, recently bought beads but I could've bought 24 pounds of litter for the same price. And I still need more!

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

Any luck on this? I'd be interested :D

Re: falconman515's NewAir AW-280E 28 Bottle Wineador Build!
 

If you are all going to deal in "these things" you might want to take it off the forums and deal in private, these are trademarked items and it's not too cool to even imply any wrong doing on CA's part by posting about it in public.

I sprayed the water directly onto the bags of kitty litter. 4 syringes full.
