Default First batch and first label

Finally got a home brew kit for christmas and have been having fun with it since.

My first beer is an extra bitter pale ale that I made for my friend's band (Anchor Point) who is having an album release around the time it will be ready.





Need to make the label image a little narrower next time.

I like the addition of the "Bottled On" in the lower left corner.

It was a good idea, but after bottling and labeling 4 cases, handwriting the date was monotonous.

Yikes... Well i normally only label about a case of each brew. The rest don't last long enough to justify labels.

That's how it is going to be from now on. Only beer that is given away. Might switch to tags that hang around the neck.

What did you use to stick the labels? Milk?

Started with milk but had trouble keeping the edges to stay so I used a mild spray adhesive.

So you just printed on regular paper then? I like the neck lables and have been trying to create one that looks and fits right. Yours are very nice, how did you make them?

When printing the label I also fill in the date field in the label making program. I just drop a new text box on top and type the date in.
