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. :)

I just moved my brown ale from my primary to secondary after 9 days. Started out at 1055 and is now 1020. Will it continue to fall over the next two weeks in the seconday? Is 1020 too high? I've never done a brown ale. (Taste pretty good though). Thanks!

Do you dilute the star sans with water in the spray bottle or use it straight up? Thanks!

I am so fired up after reading this. I am going to grab my father in law's large aluminum pot and give AG a shot over the long weekend!

I gave this a shot last night when I added the bulk of my LME with only 5 minutes left in the boil (per the recipe I used). I then let it sit for 15 minutes, then cooled. I was shooting for an OG of 1.054 and came up with 1.055. I'll let you know how things turn out in 6 weeks or so. :)

Must be where I live but all off the micro/craft beers retail for around $8.99 and up per six pak while the Americal Ale comes in at $6.99. I think this is beacause the closet craft brewery is in ATL (Sweetwater). I wish I could get a great micro/craft six pack for less...
