How Do You Organize Your DIY Flavors?

[scotdc]

Now that I've fallen completely down this rabbit hole that is DIY, I have about 100 flavors at my disposal. I use six or seven of these plastic mod stands from fasttech to store my flavors.

But I'm curious, how do you organize your flavors?

By type (tobaccos, creams, nuts, etc)?
By brand?
Alphabetically?

What's your solution?

Mine are in zip lock bags in a cardboard box.
Is there a better way?

Mine are organized badly. So badly that I have to check every bottle to see what it is, sometimes I get lucky (but that is another story ).

If I had the space I would use a multi level spice rack, split the flavours into categories (fruits, creams, bakery, other), then use a shelf for each category, ordering them alphabetically within the subsets.

I use a tackle box well several tackle boxes. I put the most used flavors in one and the next used in another and so on. That way I can take my show on the road to mix up for friends and family.

I got a couple of these for countertop: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/sto...nt-cutlery-tray-in-grey/1017071270?poc=126989

They also have individual units.

First I took a sharpie and color coded by type and marked the top of the lids so I can look down on them and see what they are. Then I put them into old Tupperware freezer containers with lids and stick them in my fridge. I got tired of taking them out 1 at a time to find what I was looking for.

Personally I do it by brand and I use large plastic drawers. (they have 3 drawers. usually people use it for crafts)

That is exactly what I just bought and have been using. I separate them by type such as vanilla's, creams, custards, chocolates, nuts, fruits, etc.

Plastic box in the fridge, about 70 flavors. Not all that difficult to keep them apart since the bottles from different vendors have different caps/bottles and i pretty much know what flavors i have.

I use those heavy foil disposable loaf pans, with flavors divided into sweet, tobacco, fruit, etc. with each type in its own pan. I'm about at the point, though, that I may have to re-think. I have a couple of pans that are beginning to overflow!

I found an freezer/fridge tray at Lowes (approx 3.5"x18") that 500ml bottles fit in for PG/VG at each end. I took a block of wood that fit inside the tray and drilled holes to fit flavor bottles (similar to the pic in post #1) and put that in the middle of the tray. I even had room for syringes, so everything is neatly stored.

I made these a while back and they work great for me never have to hunt for a particular flavor again.
