Very hardy, stable tree. I use it when brewing multiple batches (3 batches in 22oz bottles) at the same time. I'm gonna through a fit if we can't use this as our Christmas tree this year.

Works like it should. I did have one prong broke off of one of my layers when the item arrived. So I ended up with a 89 bottle tree.

Nothing but praise for the folks at Midwest. I received a tree broke in shipping, and they sent me another one instantly. Great company will do much more business with in the future. Thanks

Necessity for bottle brewers
Review by John B

I am brand new to brewing, but I can definitely say that this item saved me a lot of hassle and time. I rummaged through some alleyways and ended up collecting roughly 100 bottles. I rinsed all of the them but then I had nowhere to store them or dry them. The next morning I drove down to midwest supplies to buy the tree and the jet bottle washer (also highly recommend). My life became immediately easier. Do not be worried about stability, the tree is very stable. I racked from top to bottom to see if it would tip in any way, and it never budged.Yes the tree is great for drying but it is also perfect for storing your bottles if you don't have a lot of storage space. I live in an apartment so this nifty thing just sits and decorates the dining room. A couple of complaints: Its a pretty high price for essentially molded plastic. The item has a current running patent on it so the high price will be around for a while (this is of course not Midwest's fault, they price their items beyond fairly). I also do not think the rotating perk is worth it. Usually I end up rotating the whole tree anyways because there is too much weight on the pivot for it to rotate (maybe some WD40 could fix that?) If you plan on doing 2 or more batches at a time or collect bottles for the future then definitely get the 90 bottle tree, you'll be glad you spent the extra cash on it.

Received bottle tree with several branches broken, most of them from the rotating base. Called, told them what had happened and they apologized for the mishap and quickly rushed out the replacement parts. Received everything in working order, plus an apology letter. Awesome customer service, will definitely order from them again.

Bought this a few weeks ago and I must say this tree saved me lots of time and effort at bottling time. The rotation of the tree is awesome makes it easy to keep things chugging along. I would recommend this to anyone if they bottle their beer!

This drying tree was much sturdier than I expected. The base is plenty wide to support even a large number of heavy bottles, everything fits together and comes apart easily, and the whole thing made bottling quick and easy. Highly recommend, this was awesome.

This nifty tree saves me some much time at bottling time. Love the rotating action this tree has. Also having the sulfiter on top makes bottling a breeze. It also frees up room not having the bottles on the shelves. Love this thing!

time and space saver

Now that I keg most of my beer this guy mostly sits in the corner holding bottles but it still saves a lot of space from having scores of bottles on the shelves. When I do bottle this is a great time saver for a tedious process. A bit expensive upfront for something that isn't totally necessary but it is a nice luxury item.

Huge time saver

I used to have a huge stack of bottles sitting in boxes in my appartment and it was slowly taking over. I got this bottle tree and the bottle rinser and it helps save a ton of room and its much more aesthetically appealing than just having boxes of bottles sitting around. The bottle rinser is also a great addition to your equipment. After I clean out all my bottles I use the washer to sanatize the bottles and hang them on the tree during bottling day to cut down on sanatizing time.
