my beer labels are 7x4 and the label goes almost all the way around.. I imagine it would be no different for your bottles, just find the right size and make the label to match

Well, I don't know much about cider.. but two of my local grocery stores sell apple cider in 1 gallon jugs.. Whole Foods and Fresh Market. Good luck with your cider!

redid my label taking tips and inspiration from the better looking labels on here. Kinkos has a paper that has a sticky back, so I got them printed there. Laser printer, sticky paper, cut to size for me, $1 each? sounds like a winner.

but even the crappiest mead you can find in the US is roughly $10... I have a very similar batch sitting in my basement as well.. it's been about 2 weeks for me. Mine is also black (didn't expect that) but it smells incredible. I can't wait

It wasn't hot when I got back, but it certainly wasn't cool/cold (about 80...

I mixed the hell out of it for 5 minutes.. maybe not enough. will it equal out on it's own, or do I need to mix some more to avoid it settling?

I guess my main concern is my OG being so high.. no issues?

I know that fermentation in beer can take as long as 72 hours to begin.. but I have never had an issue and usually I have crazy bubbling within an hour. This is my first batch of mead and its been 24 hours with 0 activity as far as I can tell... My recipe 16lbs of clover honey 5 oranges...

Ya I have read about the pith bitterness, so I made sure to just barely scratch the surface so I could avoid the bitterness. I'm going to leave this batch with the zest only, and next time, if I want more, I'll try the citra hops.

I'm good with photoshop, it was the labeling process itself (printing) that I was curious about. I will have to get some laser prints made
