creativelabelconcepts.com I used the waterproof label W38-WB1. I used the bubble jet printer ones. Made for a wine bottle, but the best size they had for beer bottles. Worked OK. Casual water was fine, ie: bottle sweating, wet hands. Long term water contact, not so good. Needed to...

Didn't big brewing threaten to cancel advertising if they continued the show? Actually really enjoyed it.

Excellent label!

Very nice! I was joking a about the stumbling, and think both labels are excellent.

Nice label! Looks really good. My only problem is, the parrot ain't stubling! :D

I let the BB kit ferment for two weeks, unlike the Coopers that sat for only a week. The Coopers tastes amazing now after bottle conditioning for 2 months and the BB kit tastes pretty darn good after being in the bottle for 4 weeks. I am interested to see how much faster the BB kit conditions...

LOVE the avatar! Great movie! Also to the OP, nice label. Like how you used the I.

Brewed only two batches so far. Starting with kits until I get my feet wet. 1st Coopers IPA. Not a real IPA, not hoppy enough. Better and better as it bottle conditions. 2nd Brewers Best American Light. Brewed for the wife to keep her happy, although she does like the Coopers. 1st...

Oxiclean and hot water. Labels fall off in under an hour. Just wipe off the excess glue while rinsing and all is well. Sam Adams, Dogfish Head, Great Lakes all come off real easy. I try to stick with Sams from my local beer distributor. They let me pick and choose from the return pile...

Hello all. Just bottled my 2nd batch. Brewers Best American Light. Yeah, I know, why brew a light beer? To satisfy my SWMBO's taste, thus allowing me to continue brewing! Ok, my question. First batch, Coopers IPA (not very tasty) had about 1/2" creamy yeast on the bottom. This batch...

:rockin: Starsan is kinda expensive, until you realize how far it goes. Bought a 1.99 spray bottle and use maybe 1 total bottle to clean equipment and such when brewing and then bottling. I go overboard with it and spray EVERYTHING.

Inkscape does a great job. Pretty intuitive.

Thanks for the info guys. Just a bit jittery for my 2nd batch. After doing some digging, I read some tiny print on the box that if grain bags were needed, they'd be included. So, I need to relax and have fun and start the 2nd brew. :)

They are pellets. My concern is, am I supposed to strain what is left of the hops prior to putting in the fermenter? Does whatever is left after the boil effect the taste of the brew if it's in the fermenter for 2 weeks, or is it supposed to be in there? I searched for other posts...

Can you explain hop oils? The two packets I have look like pellets. Thanks.

Going to brew the Brewers Best American Light today. Comes with 2 packets of hops, with directions when to add. Did a Coopers kit for my first batch and didn't add hops. My question is, when adding hops, am I supposed to have them in a bag, or just add them? If not in a bag, how do I...

Just tasted my first bottle/first batch last week and am trying not to try another bottle this week! Congrats on the first bottle, awesome to taste the fruits of your labor, isn't it?

I just started to make labels and had some problems with the avery template I used. The labels in the template were in portrait orientation and I did them in landscape and could not get them inserted properly. Did what SIXFOOTER said about just putting them on a sheet of paper. But what...

Tried doing a few text only ones in Word, and didn't like them. Downloaded inkscape and it let's you do much more and it's not so difficult to learn. Pretty easy to flip/rotate words and pics, nice textures to spruce up pics and so on. Tried Gimp and didn't feel like putting the time in to...

Got a growler of Ithaca Brewing Flower Power IPA a little while ago, and man, that stuff is outrageous! Hoppy, flowery, and just darn tasty. Loved it so much, now I pretty much only drink IPA's as my base "sipping" brew. Great Lakes and Saranac are pretty good, DFH 60 minute is OK (not as...
