Thanks, The wax on the top is something I just started messing with. I don't put it on every bottle, rather just if its gonna go to someone or if its one I am keep. Its not bad to get off, just takes some time. All I do is buy a cheap candle at like wal-mart of target, ususally about $1, put...

That is a rare brass design, I have not seen one of those before. Usually they are the "mushroom" type.

Here you go... Let me know if you wanna see individual pictures

Yeah brother thats what I am talking about! I am parcel to the pin-up style, infact I was wanting to do a military theme for one of my upcoming brews. I honestly never thought about bottling it all in 22oz "Bombers", Love it!

Got the Peach Wheat, and Orange Pale Ale on bottles last night. Twilight Wheat printed but not ready to bottle yet. Anybody wanna see actual pics of the bottles?

I did the same thing with my Cousin Eddie's Christmas Ale, people kept asking me if they could drink it. They said they felt like it was too cool to drink. By far one of the more rewarding christmas gifts I have given everyone.

Sweet labels bro, I used to work for a marketing company right out of college. Infact thats how I learned to play with photoshop. Wish I had access to some of that same stuff right now. I you have any extra labels like that laying around let me know, they are awesome.

I would just setup the hoses so you can just unscrew the locks and switch out for what keg you are gonna use. I did this on the account I knew I would be getting the coke style kegs but was purchasing the pepsi style kegs. Works like a charm. You need to get 2 bolts and 2 different locks per keg.

No I do have a chiller, I just have read a couple of articles in Brew about how to make light colored extracts. This was one of their tips. I think it just depends on what you are brewing. Carmelization leds to higher SRM, which I have been making alot of wheats lately. If its not as big of...

I use a 30 quart aluminum on a stovetop, and I never start with a full 5.5 gallons of wort. What kind of brewing are you doing? Extract I assume? You will only need 2-3 gallons of wort for the whole boil. Add water on the back end while cooling. It is also a good idea to add the majority of...

Kinda abit cool to play golf today in Oklahoma, so I stayed in a threw a couple of labels together. Let me know what you think.

I am okay with anybody using them, just send me a message with you email and I will send you the file, all you have to do is print it out at kinkos. You can get for labels on a page for $.59

I was at a natural food store the other day and saw Winter Wheat grains. I am sure this could more than likely be used in brewing, but I have be unable to find any info regarding winter wheat. What characteristics & benefits does it have? How does it differ from other types of wheat ie...

I am getting ready to purchase a wort chiller here in the next month, however I have had success doing the following steps. Buy distilled nusery water, typically about $1 a gallon, and putting it in the freezer before brewing, and getting it close as possible to freezing. Then using it to top...

I just kegged a strawberry blonde today. Based on the info from the LHBS and the sticky above I did the following. I siphoned from my secondary into the keg which had been in the cooler at roughly 50 degrees. Set my CO2 tank to the beer smith recommended force carb setting of 22 psi. Rocked...

Yeah I probably should play with that more, I printed one out on just regular paper and it was not soo bad. Those are just JPEG copies compared to the photoshops which are alot cleaner.

Here is my first attempt at labels. Please critique and let me know what you think!

Funny, my wife wants to start trying to brew with me, so I was asking her what she thought might be something she would want to make. "How about like a chocolate mint beer" she said, to which I replied "Yeah why don't we just mix some Guiness and mouth wash." Awesome

Sweet, thanks guys. I was thinking thats what happened. The good news is the beer was great just flat. That said the other 60+ bottles of each have been sitting in cabinet in the kitchen, cool and dark.

Its been 2 wks since I bottled my first beer and first cider. Upon bottling I placed 3 or 4 or each directly into the fridge. I just wanted to see if it made a difference, and did not ready anywhere I could not do this. I opened one of each from the fridge the other day to check them out...
