How to label faucets when you have 8 beers on tap?

[kal]

How about a nice, wooden shelf that spans the length of the taps with a beer bottle behind each tap with the beers label?

But that would require me to create labels for all the beers I make. That sounds too much like work. (I don't bottle or make labels).

Hi

Tap sized labels are pretty easy. You can get 8x10 sheets of paper with "peal and stick" adhesive on it and the labels already cut in various sized circles / ovals / squares / rectangles. They also come in different colors. I use them for labeling grain and flour containers. They run through a laser printer or an ink jet.

I think 'phoenixs4r' meant making actual beer labels. Not just simple numbers or plain text.

The work I was talking about was the design work in having to create beer labels (the graphic design element), not the actual printing part.

The printing part is easy. Coming up with a label like this for me is not:

Hi

True, but with a label that's 1" in diameter there's not going to be a lot on it. You only need enough to tell beer A from beer B. Grabbing cut and paste graphics works pretty well...

Kal, that is gorgeous! consider me jealous.
i basically have the setup you do (home theater and all) but, yours is like living in beverly hills, mine is like living in compton in the early 90s. .

Here's mine.

Nice!

Those towers look nicely chilled. My old one used to do that too in the summer when it was more humid. (Haven't had my current one set up long enough to know if it'll do the same).

I ended up with 8 identical tap handles but put a chalkboard behind where I write out what's available (1-4 down the left side, 5-8 down the right).

The final look with the brewery behind is amazing !

WOW! I'm so jealous. Very nice Kal! Is that a Hopslam clone I see on tap?

 

[kal]

Thanks guys!

Very nice Kal! Is that a Hopslam clone I see on tap?

Yup! A clone recipe from here I believe. 9.5% ABV. Tasty stuff, though I've never been able to do a direct comparison with the real beer. (It's not readily available up here in Canada).

Like how its framed above the taps. Good job!

Anyone who wouldn't really recognize beer brewing would think they're looking into a surgical room. Nice and clean!

 

[kal]

Funny you should mention that... my wife calls it the 'autopsy room' because she thinks it looks like something from CSI.

My floor just hit my chin.... see how frazzled I am. Typed that all wrong. That is classy dude. Well done!!

 

[StainlessBrewing]

Still drooling:cross:. Those halogens really make that stainless bling!

 

[KegWrangler]

It's like a shrine to beer. I can't look at it without adding some Gregorian chant in my head!

That's pretty sexy.

Here's a better shot now that I've filled up the wine rack a bit better and cleaned up.

I just saw your article in Brew your own, nice going Kal!

 

[kal]

Thanks! I find a lot kinda dorky in pictures (they wanted me in many of the pictures but my first thought would have been to not have me in them at all), but what can I do... you have to provide what they want!

Cheers,

Kal

I'm now hetero-gay for Neil Patrick Harris AND Kal.

Nice work son - truly spectacular.

I've never been used in the same sentence as Neil Patrick Harris. Cool! Something new every day! (I love his work - cool guy).
