I use 12 oz beer bottles that I've collected. Most of them are Sam Adam's so I hope they hold up. If not I'll have a mess to clean up! :)

Thanks homebrewer_99! I think I will bottle it. I am going to prime with only 5 oz of dextrose so hope all goes well. This is my first cider and I really would like to not mess things up!

My recipe was pretty straight forward, 5 gallons of apple juice, 1 pound of dextrose and some Montracht Champagne yeast. It has been fermenting for a month now and stupidly I did not take an OG reading. I took one tonight and am at 1.000 +/- 0.0018 for temperature. Anyway, can I bottle...

+1 for a higher resolution picture. Otherwise, the idea and tribute are fitting.

Good call! I need to add the dots. Otherwise, I am pretty pleased with it.

Here is a second version of the logo and thanks for the feed back! I substituted the ram for the seagoat, moved the date to above the goat and made the side text smaller. Thoughts?

Mulberry Street Brewery since I live on Mulberry Street. So unoriginal but I like the way it sounds. :)

Wow. Impressive. Much more organic than just messing around with Inkscape to create a label. Those are pieces of art.

Cool. Thanks for the suggestions. After doing a little more digging I learned that the symbol for a Capricorn is a Seagoat (WTF?) or a goat. Looks like I'll need a new symbol in the middle. I'll also try to move the numbers and see how it turns out. I can't wait for my new brewer to arrive! :)

Does AG give you better lacing on a glass than extract? Just wondering.

My final brew session of the year was back in November and the purpose of this beer was to brew it to comemmerate the birth of my first son, a boy we have named Mason. Cleverly, I named the beer Mason’s Brown Ale and have been thinking about drawing a label for some bottles I plan to keep...

Phish rocks. Rift Brewing Co.? Bouncing Round the Brew Ale Works? Guelah Papyrus Brewing Co.? So many options... :)

glad someone asked about the foam. thanks for all the good info guys. i was freaking out about it last time i racked my beer to secondary. now i know it's all good. :)

@ David_42: Concerning my yeast, I used WLP013 London Ale Yeast. Next time I will have to revise my methods and shoot for a small OG. Thanks!

It was a beer kit from the LHBS so I am not sure of the exact ingredients. It had about 2 lbs grains that I did a partial mash with and then 7 lbs of light LME. Looks like there is nothing I can do now, so I am not going to worry about it and just enjoy the beer. :)
