Today my regulator and carbonater cap came via UPS. I won't be getting around to kegging my barley-wine until this weekend so out of sheer scientific interest I decided to start carbonating strange things. Tonights experiment is 2% milk. I put it in at about 7 lbs co2 at 40 degrees in a diet...

First you will need a couple things: Inkscape is a free open-source graphics program. Beer Labelizer premium membership for $5.00. In Labelizer pick the label and color you prefer delete all the text and upload your preferred art. When you have the artwork in place satisfactorily save it as a...
