WESTERN SQUARE
The latest innovation by Stockton, Calif.-based
rack manufacturer Western Square Industries
is its Red Fermenter rack, which is an upgrade
to the company's Barrel Master rack. The two-
barrel rack features two sets of rollers for each
barrel, and the rollers can be spun with the use
of a hand-held drive motor, or power drill, to
make spinning barrels quicker, easier and safer
without allowing oxygen to enter the barrels.
The Red Fermenter features a larger footprint
(63.5 inches by 32 inches) to provide greater
stability and make barrel work easier. The Red
Fermenter can be stacked eight high and fea-
ture Western Square's interlocking loading sys-
tem, in which racks rest on racks and not
barrels. The rack can be built to accommodate
puncheons or Cognac casks and is offered in
stainless steel or powder coated.

BARREL SAFE
CELLAR RACKS
Barrel Safe Cellar Racks in Sonoma, Calif., is
the North American vendor of four-post racks
produced in Australia by RGB Industries. The
company claims the racks are the most secure
and safest way to protect wine or employees,
because the racks rest on other racks rather
than stacked barrels. Different barrel types
can rest in the same rack, and barrels can be
stacked eight high. The racks can be fitted for
wheels to accommodate lees stirring.
