Brew Day Boxes

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but what I do to make my brew day go more smoothly is

1) print out an overall "Brewing Schedule" for each of my beers. This provides all the details regaring mash infusion (volume of water, approximate time to heat, strike temperature, etc.), mash out (volume of water, approximate time to heat, strike temperature, etc.), batch sparge (volume of water, approximate time to heat, etc.) and boiling.
2) I also print out a detailed "batch sparge calculation" sheet, overall details about the reci[pe (O.G., IBU, pre-boil volume, post-boil volume, ferment volume, ingredients, mash temperature, ferment temperature, etc.);
3) I print out the grain calaculations (amount of each type of grain); and
4) I print out the hop schedule (weight, boiling time, etc.).

Basically, every detailed step of the process is pre-planned.

 

Don't have a box per say, everything is in totes on selves in the garage and they are labeled. The day before brewday I'll get everything I need out, measure out all my hop additions, measure out brewing water and add any salts if needed. I pretty much just setup on a fold out table in the garage, then brew day is a bit more enjoyable and less hectic.

 

Everything I have is in my brew closet, I usually try to prep for step ahead... That way I'm never desperately trying to find anything, I already have it in place and ready to go.

 

yeah, I don't know about "box" per se, but I have most of my stuff in a wall cabinet or a cabinet below, and generally try to get stuff I'll need in the general area of the brew, but I always end up going back multiple times. It's a 50 foot walk to the other end of the basement, so not a big deal.
I try to keep it more or less organized so if I need, say, a thermometer I don't have to hunt around for it, I know where I keep them.

 

My brew gear has claimed a small kitchen in the basement (when I had my house built, I built the basement into a stand alone apartment for possible secondary income and visitors) so I have plenty of space for my brew gear down there. While the strike water is heating up, I use a big metal catering pan like this...

to transport my bags of crushed grains (sometimes I mill into a food grade bucket and just use the pan for carrying other stuff) or DME if I'm doing a partial mash and any equipment that will fit after that like my spoon, mash paddle, thermometer, funnel, scale for measuring hops, hop bags, etc. I have a smaller pan (like what might be used on a salad bar) to transport anything that I like to keep cooled while I'm mashing, like hops and yeast (depending on if I'm doing a really extended mash). I carry larger things like the kettle, chiller and fermenter by hand as needed.

I have several Brew Journals I've made over the years that I write my recipes, ingredient lists/shopping lists, ideas, etc in. I usually formulate the recipe well in advance of the brew day and as I brew I record my final recipe and notes about the brew day on a separate page for each brew and then come back and add notes about when I dry hopped, added nibs, vanilla beans, oak, etc and I add notes again at kegging/bottling. After the brew is ready and drinking, I add a review of the beer with suggestions on how to improve it in the future and my wife and I give it the usual BA ratings for future reference. This way I keep all of my brewing info in one place for easy reference later, I don't have multiple files on my computer with my brewing info and its a hard copy that can't be accidentally lost/erased.
