As recently as about a year ago, I hadn't given much thought to long-term cellaring, either for aging or for cost-hedging purposes.
It's taken just over 12 months since I started the process, and I just hit the 7.5 pound mark, not counting the pound or so of bulk blends that aren't actually cellared but that only get dipped into once in a blue moon. I know this is child's play compared to what a lot of you have, but it's a whole lot more than my old "two tins open, one tin in reserve" plan!
Anyway, 7.5lb feels pretty good. I'm working on setting aside some more space - with the way things are going (price, legislation, etc.), I figure it can't hurt to keep rolling. I'm hoping to be up to 15 pounds by my birthday in May.
