Just showing off: I brewed this capiscumel a long time ago but just finally bottled it tonight, it was only a one gallon batch. I transferred 11 gallons of bochet that a buddy and I brewed in June. That got me in a homebrew mood so I bottled this! Tasting notes: it finished way sweeter than...

Don't know how many people remember me (not that I was anybody to pay attention too haha) but I've been out of brewing for too long due to life, schedule changes, returning to school, getting married etc etc etc. Anyways just wanted to say Hi again to everybody and start catching up on what...

Well plenty of people have come up with brews for peoples' weddings but now I find myself planning my own. I got engaged to my wonderful fiancee on Christmas Morning. We are planning on a fall or winter ceremony and I'd like to provide some unique brews for people to try. I know I should know...

I made a thread about this when I first made it, but seeing as I am updating the label a bit, I thought I'd start a new thread to gain some interest and advice. The first pic is the current label used, but the second two are newer versions. It's for a blueberry apple wine. I am working with my...

So far I only have one 6 gal carboy, my bottling bucket, and 5 single gallon carboys. I have now put my blueberry cider/apply wine in my bottling bucket in anticipation of bottling in the coming few days. Now that I have said that, I am taking suggestions on my next brew. I have one 1 gal jug...

Well I have used this picture in creating a wine label for my blueberry/apple wine, but I wanted to simplify it so it could be used as my general brewery design. So I had some free time tonight so I started to create a "vector" image of it, though I was only using ms paint and gimp because I...

Well I am going to need to bottle 11 gallons coming soon and really want to do a brewery logo. I would love to do something really simple. The brewery name is Bent Pines Brewery, so I was thinking a BPB in some flourished or italic style. The reason for the logo is I will be wax dipping some...

Sooo, way back in the beginning of my college days I lived with my good friend from high school. That year we drank a TON of Jones soda, since they had it here and no one seem to know what it was except us, plus it was cheap at the dining halls. We kept all of the bottles with the intention...

Ok so here's the deal. I bottles my first cyser and first batch of JAOM several months ago. This was a long time ago relative to the amount of knowledge I have gotten, mainly from this forum. In my homebrewing ignorance, I bottled a bit early. This lead to too corks popping and a fair amount of...

New label I made for a blueberry cider I've got going. Any suggestions?

Well I have started working on a label for the leap year mead that a group of us are brewing. No one in the group needs to use this label if they don't want to, but I've been bored and in a creative mood, so here is what I have so far: If anyone better wants to try and edit it, I would...

I am sure there are similar threads, and I apologize for it if its a repost. But I just got GIMP and would love to try to make some labels. I have a pic I would love to use, but I also like the oval shield style label. So, do you create the shields and banner designs, or are they available...

As the title says, I am looking to make some blueberry cider. At this point I am still researching and would love some help. I searched around and saw a lot of references to blueberry cider, but not recipes. I have 5 gallons of apple juice, 4 lbs of frozen blueberries, a few different...
