Colored Bottle Caps

[uwmgdman]

I have only seen the following bottle caps at my LHBS and online:

gold, blue, hooch, and brewer's best.

Does anyone know of a supplier of different color caps. If some place sold red, green, blue, black, gold, etc etc. I would buy many different colors instead of writing on my caps.

Anyone know of a source?

I use 1" circle labels (Avery) from Office Max.

There's a FREE add-on you can download from Avery that attaches to your Word and places an icon on the tool bar for formatted labels.

Thanks for the link. Holy sh#t those are expensive. I guess scrapbooking folks will pay much for caps than brewers.

I'll have to check that out. I don't make labels b/c I lack ability and desire to do them, but I think I could handing making cap labels and would enjoy spending the comparatively smaller amount of time required to make them.

Just in case you are wondering how my Light Ale Experiment came out here's a pic...remember this is a Late Addition recipe made with DME...

Notice the carbonation ??

I use the Avery 3/4" rounds - allows for identification and I don't have to scrub off another label to reuse the bottle.

I used to make large labels for the front of my bottles and found that when I put them in a cooler of ice, and eventually water, the ink would run and the label would fall off.

If I labeled the caps they are usually above the water line (when standing).

I'm going to get me some of those round labels. I get tired of writing on the caps. Thanks for the tip.

www.homebrewheaven.com sells a variety of colored caps, as does http://www.homebeerwinecheese.com/ (call for colors). I bought my original stock from homebrew heaven (I bought navy, teal, red, black, silver, and dark green, and they also carried blue/white and gold ), and then called Beer Wine and Cheese, looking for more (alas, they only had the same).

www.breweryparts.com also carries white and yellow (which are the last 2 I'm looking for) but only sell 10,000 at a time.

Here's why I was looking for colored caps: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=12509

Hope that helps.
