Cool label! I could send you a photo I have of the Stanley Motel, in Estes Park, where part of it was filmed, if you're interested. I like your warning message on there. I should tweak mine so it's funny like yours. --Aaron

ending it like that should get you a purple-nurple or perhaps to be locked in a room with usmcruz

No time to waste in other places as it's best to stay here where we've got so much in common. Alemonkey, did ya notice we're in the same city? --Aaron

Yeah, all is good now. I freaked on that first attempt and threw it out. The second attempt is less than a week away from bottling. I've gleened much wisdom from the fine folks here and learned to relax, not to worry, and have a brew. Great advice it is!!:rockin: Now I'm anxious to get...

:D Yeah, I tried to doll it up all 'authentic' as I named it after a member of my website. I figured he'd get a bigger kick out of it that way. --Aaron:mug:

I'd like to chime in but my rhyming is scant. My first brew is done, now I'm planning an oatmeal stout.

Something is surely goin' on.....a good racket. --Aaron

very funny! --Aaron

Yeah, that's the only use I get out of my TORX set....doing brake jobs on the minivan. --Aaron

I used Photoshop CS to make it all from scratch. I began looking for templates or 'clip art' images but I didn't find any. Once I got started I became obsessed to finish it. I did use a label for inspiration that I found on beerlabels.com. I will be able to easily tweak this label to make...

Thanks guys! I'm pretty happy with my first label. I hope I'm as happy with my first brew that it's for. I'm already super anxious to get a taste. --Aaron

Here's my first label for my first brew....a blueberry wheat --Aaron:mug:

Very good labels hunteraw! I've sketched out a design for my first brew label. Once things at home and work slow down I'll get to crackin on it in Photoshop. Anyone have have any tips on where to find general source images for making your own labels, like for the ribbon graphic? Hunteraw...

Kevin, that blow off tube is awesome! Pretty active fermentation again, but that blow off tube is handling it well so far. I've got a feeling it's gonna be hard to wait to try out this first brew. The anticipation is high already!! --Aaron:mug:

No, I'm redoing the blueberry wheat. I'd like to find a vanilla porter recipe as well. The one I had was from Empyrean Ales, a local brewery here in Lincoln. --Aaron:mug:

Alright, the wort is cooling as I type this. Just a matter of time until I get it into the primary. I modified my airlock and added the tubing to it to get ready for another active fermentation. I'll also put it into a rubbermaid tub in case the lid blows again. I had a vanilla porter from...

Thanks for the link Kevin! --Aaron

Yep, lesson learned --Aaron

Thanks guys! I'll relax....but will have to wait for a homebrew. I ended up throwing it out (was that stupid?) as I didn't feel comfortable with how long it may have been open and 'exposed'. Thanks for the good ideas for the ways to contain messes with any possible future blow overs! I'll...

Okay, here's what happened. I attempted to make a blueberry wheat for my first brew. I had it in the primary last evening at 6pm. This morning I went to check on it and the first thing I noticed was 'beer' up in the airlock. Second thing I noticed was a third of the lid was lifted off and...
