Looks better with a 3.5" x 2.3" label (at least on my printer), and I can still do 8 on a page...

I like the more subtle og/fg at the bottom, but now I've got too much empty space on that left-most panel 🤔

First label is in honor of my first "mop the kitchen TWICE" brew day... (you'll never guess the hop used!)

And the re-worked coconut stout label...

Sadly, my little bottle graphic "Please rinse & return" isn't working with my loser friends and colleagues!

What's a polite way of saying "*******, I NEED THE EMPTY BOTTLES BACK!!!" ?
In the alleged words of the soup nazi “No more beer for you!” 😂 Well, sort of.

Just keep track of the "friends" who don't return bottles, and cut off the beer supply.

Brew on :mug:
 
Trying to fit the Seinfeld Soup Nazi and the text just doesn't fit... But maybe this works on my dumb-assed friends...

And heads up to anyone printing their labels at home... The UPS store color printer (at least in my hometown) does an awesome job, for like $0.60 / page.

It's good to see I'm not the only one with Monty Python references. :)

I would give my husband a six pack to give to one of his friends and directly asked for the empties to be returned. Well, the guy did return them, but didn’t rinse them or poorly rinsed them. I threw 3 out because they were gross and growing mold. No. More. Beer. For him! Some people that I give HB I know I’m not getting them back and I’m fine with that. I don’t expect my Dr. to remember beer bottles for my next appt. LOL
 
I posed this in another thread this week but wanted to share here as well.
the 3 versions of my share from a barrel aged imperial stout that I brewed with @BrewMan13. The stout finished at 14.1% then we aged it 8 months in a fresh American oak barrel that was conditioned with bourbon.

Pink Wax - the base BA stout with coconut and vanilla

Black Wax - the base BA stout

Green Wax - the base BA stout with coffee
(About 16 bottles of each)

Give it up. Consider a new box of bottles every couple of batches just another cost of being a popular homebrewer!

Can you share the steps you followed to condition that fresh barrel?
