Bollocks....why would you spend that much just to get something that tastes like a commercial beer? If you like commercial beer, why not just buy commercial beer? $5700 just to say 'I made it?' I don't think putting down homebrew will help them either. The reason why we homebrew is because it...

I found mines at Lowes (50' x 3/8"). It was $38, but i'm in Hawaii.

This thread was a great help! Many thanks! Here's how mine turned out using your instructions. Took me only about an hour to make. The parts cost me $90 total, but the good part is that hose and tubing was 50 feet. My CFC is 25', so i have enough material to make another. I think i'll make it...

Thanks guys. Brewing a red ale next, but think i may have to call it an amber since the sample didn't look quite red enough. Look out for those labels in 2-3 weeks. Aloha

Sounds good, i'll check it out next time i'm back home. I'm an architect, but do graphics as well. Your labels are awesome too. Do you still do graphics in Hilo?

Howzit Honolii, that's exactly the banyan i'm talking about. I'm from Hilo (Waiakea 95), but live on Oahu now. I was there a couple weeks back and drove past Old A's and realized that the tree is even bigger than i remember. Good memories indeed. Are you from Hilo too? BTW, where do you get...

"...beer themed wedding.." Dude, you're the man

Thanks for the tip! Cheers

True, I don't know how to calibrate the positioning but i've gotten lucky with most of them. Some do have the white lines (like the one in the pic), and some have a sliver of the adjacent label - but they don't bother me too much. I think the convenience of not having to cut them out manually...

Thanks. I used the same Avery re-positionable labels i used for my last batch.
