How did you find the wheat border? I didn't see it as an option.

Very cool site.

Hey, i know am computer illiterate, but what would be the best way to take a designed seal from this site and print out for labels.

It would be pretty silly to use one whole page for 1 seal, which is what i have managed so far.

I havent realy screwed around with this to much but I am also having the same issue
 
word processing programs like MS Word have an option to print labels
you can set it to so many rows and so many columns
you can also buy paper that is made to do labels that you can print them on and then have them peel off and have an adhesive back
not sure if that's a good idea, they might be hard to get off

Great site. I wish we could upload an image to use instead of having to use theirs. But still a great site. This one'll do untill I can figure out Gimp a little bit. that might take years, though.:eek:

Also, How DID you guys get the grains in as borders? lI couldn't figure that one either.:confused:

Yeast is never mentioned in Reinheitsgeboot, the German Purity Law of 1516 because they didn't know it existed. All they knew is you mix, Barley, Hops and Water and you let it sit and after a period of time you get this wonderful thing called beer. Yeast was not discovered until the 1800's.


German Beer Purity Law from 1516
"How beer should be served and brewed in summer and winter in the principality"
"Herewith, we decree, order, express and wish, together with the Privy Council, that from this day forth everywhere in the Principality of Bavaria, in the countryside as in the towns and marketplaces, wherever no other specific ordinance applies, from St. Michael's Day until St. George's Day a measure or head of beer shall not be sold for more than one pfennig Munich currency and from St. George's Day until St. Michael's Day a measure shall not be sold for more than two pfennigs of the same currency, nor a head for more than three haller. Violators of this decree shall be punished as prescribed below. Whoever should brew a beer other than Maerzen, is forbidden, under any circumstances, to serve or sell a measure for more than one pfennig. We especially wish that, from this point on and everywhere in the countryside as well as in the towns and marketplaces, nothing is to be added to or used in beer other than barley, hops and water. Whosoever knowingly disobeys this decree will be severely punished by the court having jurisdiction over him by having his barrel of beer confiscated whenever this offense occurs. Whenever an innkeeper buys beer at the prescribed price from any brewery in the countryside as well as in the towns and marketplaces, he is allowed to resell it privately to the lowly peasantry for one haller more than the price of the measure or head of beer stipulated above."


That's true, but it was amended years later to include yeast. I forget exactly when it was amended.
 
Thanks guys now I'm not going to get anything done at work today! That's an awesome tool- and I've got 2 batches of brew to label!

+1...time to make the St Paddy's labels!
 
It's too bad you can't get higher resolution output. I was able to do some fancy importing into Illustrator to convert the wheat ring to vector and really punch the res up. Now I do all the center image work in photoshop as a separate layer.

Don't know what kinds of music you guys are into but the Dropkick Murphys are one of my favorite bands. Kind of where I pulled some of the inspiration for these labels. They're an Irish punk band that is big on the working class and beer/whisky/having a good time.(only thing I'm not real sure of is the coloring...I do like the black/grey with the worker as that is one of their logos).

Once you have a design you like, what are the steps to sizing it and printing a label. I've never done anything like this before. I'd really appreciate a walkthrough if someone is patient enough. Thanks!

I'm just bumping this to see if someone can quickly tell me how you take your design and get it to a place where you can print several on one piece of paper. Do you have to transfer the image somewhere else?? Thanks.

It was pretty easy, at least if you've got Word. I opened Word, pulled up a blank page, then imported the image of the label. *doink* Then I copied it and messed with spacing enough to get four on one page. Then print and off to the Kinkos for color laser copying so the colors wouldn't run when wet. Voila! :mug:

Did you have kinkos print it on labels or did you use glue? If you used glue, what type did you use?
