Show Us Your Label

Shipped some of my homebrew to a buddy and he sent me this pic after getting them. Looks pretty fresh to me

Since everything is kegged these days, unless it's going to a comp and doesn't need a label anyways, I've been playing around with chalkboard art.

 

[Punx Clever]

Even going on the road... Chalkboards are fun.

Newest label for my TIPA . I’ve always like this drawing my son drew, so I turned it into the label

Label for the new west coast ipa

I just started brewing. My first beer, in Jan this year, a London Porter


My wife drew the art, she's very talented.

My second beer, a Pale ale that I screwed up filtering and was VERY cloudy when I bottled it



A pun on 'whiter shade of pale'. Made using a paid ChatGPT4 license.

3rd brew was bottled 2 weeks ago and I wanted to wait until I got carbonation, to see if it was good enough to deserve a label. 4th is currently in the fermenter. Need to make my labels for both of them. I'm actually thinking to go ultra-simplistic, Kernel Brewery style, if anyone knows them.

I'm a simple man; I see a reference to Procul Harum, I upvote. Great work on these labels, the London Porker illustration is really good.

Fun label for my latest hoppy black lager. On big brew day our club brewed @BrewMan13 Schwartzbier recipe at The Warbler brewery in Delmar NY. I took 6 gallons home heated it back up to whirlpool temps, added rice solids and large Simcoe hop load, fermented it with 34/70 and dryhoped it heavy will citra Simcoe and Sabro.

The label's nice, but I love the photo!

Thank you!

Working on the label for my next brew, maybe getting ahead of myself, but I was pun-inspired.

It's a Cali Common made from an Anchor Steam clone recipe but with UK substitutions of the grain

I'm sure I'll tweak it more in the upcoming weeks but I know you guys love a good beer pun so thought it might give you a giggle.

Labels from my best buddy from a book he bought. Anyone else besides this idiot brewing cannabis beer? He's a vet (Nam) and swears by it for his PTSD .

I can't believe I'm the one who taught this miscreant how to brew. I gave him some old plastic buckets with grommets and some old airlocks etc. I had laying around and some recipes I xeroxed from Palmers Book "How to Brew" (one of my favorite resources) and let him watch/help me with a few batches of ale to get him started.

Well then he bought this book insuring that mayhem and hilarity ensued
.

OMG he's been the Cheech and Chong of beer ever since. I will not drink a beer at his house without asking, "Is this that freaking marijuana brew or it is a normal beer?" It's keeping him off the streets at any rate so that's got to be a good thing. He does seem alot calmer and more laid back since starting this. He hasn't knocked anyone out for the longest time and his temper seems much better.

I’ve brewed beers where I’ve added 5 mg of thc but using a measured out tincture that I dosed the bottles before filling them from the keg. I mean I’m sure thc is great for ptsd especially with sleep. It’s great for a lot of things even just relaxing

What he did was throw the dried harvest waste ( about 1/2 pound of mostly fan leaves/ a little bit of smaller leaves trimmed from the flowers) into a mesh bag. He says he did 4 , one hour long soaks in lukewarm water (about 100F) , gently squeezing out and discarding the water each time to remove any water soluble things (chlorophyl, sugars etc.) He said that water looked like coffee the first couple soaks. Then he throws the bag into the fermenter (he makes 6 gallon batches) about 3 days prior to bottling. I always thought THC was not soluble in water but he says the alcohol content of the beer helps get it into solution, thats why he waits right before bottling to add it.

He grows this stuff (for his own use only) and previously infused the harvest waste into butter and threw the rest away. He had more waste than he could use. He's real happy now because he can use it all. I never drank one, but he swears he can feel it just drinking one and will sometimes drink 2 or more if his PTSD is especially bad.

Hmmm idk how much thc he’ll extract then. Thc is not beer water soluble so it wouldn’t extract during boiling as the boil won’t be hot enough to get the cannabis to decarboxulate and convert the THC-A to THC. Helll get a lot of cbd, if the plants he grows has a decent percentage of it, but that’s it. It will def be good for sleeping though, just not very psychoactive

Better than having to smell it, I guess. It’s not anything now like it was in the 70s and unfortunately the stench is everywhere

Walmart parking lots are the worse. I feel like anytime I walk through there or talk to an employee I get a contact high

You say that like it's a bad thing

Here's mine of my house Blonde that I entered in competition last year and totally not still bitter that I didn't medal with it. I have absolutely let it go the fact that even though I got a 44, I still didn't even get an honorable mention. Also, I definitely don't think about it and bring it up whenever I brew, pour, keg, or bottle this blonde since.

...still a work in progress.

Great label. That’s frustrating though for sure. I had that happen to me in a KC comp. Entered 3 different beers, scoring a 41, 42, and 43… didn’t medal with any of those scores

You can use my design, for sure. You've earned it!

Fun with Photoshop - Planning ahead for Christmas beers. Why would I want to make labels with candy canes, wreaths, and holly when I have Krampus and Yule Cat? I need to put abv on Krampus, not sure about that one yet.
