Here is my newest one, blatently stealing TaylorInOK's tax stamp format. I'm limited to a black & white laser, hence the b&w image, but printed on patterned (antique) paper makes it look pretty smart. I don't know if it'll work on the low-res image, bit the QR code contains the recipe for 23L. To add to bottle, the brewery logo is centered on the cap; the front and back will then take on the proper orientation.
I'm note bottling until sunday, so I'm hoping the FG holds true (its been stable 2 days); otherwise I need to re-do the labels.

EDIT: added advantage of this format is you can get 14 labels per sheet
I'm not at home, so I don't have the exact measurements, but the labels are somewhere between 18-20mm tall (0.7-0.78"), and nearly 8.5" wide. On a standard piece of letter paper, I can print 14 of these; leaving about a 1/2" margin around the page. I should add, these are for plastic bottles, so they may be a bit wide for a proper beer bottle.I might try this type of design! It seems efficient... what's the image sizing for these? Any templates available?
Currently have an IRA Fermenting and was thinking of a catchy name....
This is what I came up with using Paint.

Awesome label!
Thanks!
Next up: A pale ale label for an APA that we brewed during the transit of Venus earlier this year.
These were my first go-round last Christmas. Made a 'Sibling Sampler' as part of our sibling gift exchange. Could definitely use more time on the ol' editing software (and better editing software!)...
EDIT: I JUST SAW, AFTER POSTING, THAT THIS WAS MY 100TH POST! Small potatoes for many of you, but my first milestone.
This is a really cool idea. What if you were able to 'crisp' up the images. etc??? Would lend a more professional finish to the product....
Thought I would add my first label. The recipe is EdWort's Haus Ale, which I renamed to EdWort's Pale Ale to avoid confusion with my house ale.
Very nice, what is the QR code on there?
This is a cool idea - I use QR codes to encode the recipe, but your idea would be far more meaningful to a broader range of people!The little twist I put on my QR code, is that it pulls you to a google doc that asks for anonymous feedback on three things (flavor profile - hoppy to malty, body profile - light to heavy, and overal impression - undrinkable to perfect). I wanted to keep it short and sweet while at the same time providing some valuable feedback, especially from non-brewers or beer enthusiasts!

I added the QR code to make the label look more authentic, similar to a barcode on "real" beer labels. I was inspired to do this after seeing many labels in this very thread with the QR code.

I may have to steal it!
