[Chops1867]

Rustytypwriter, you shod age a brew on oak and call it "Underwood."

Man I have only gone through the first page, amazing work guys!

My Daughter-in-Law has been after me to make her some cider, so after the cider turned out pretty good, I decided it needed a label...

 

[vovamir]

My first brew deserved a label. Turned out better than I was ever expecting.

A lot of really impressive labels in this thread. Great for inspiration.

I came up with this ... I was looking for a way of labeling my bottles without spending hours washing them

 

[monkeeroot]

I downloaded Gimp but have no clue what I'm doing. Are there templates that you use? Or do I just take one that someone posted and change it to my liking?

It's definitely going to take some time to learn. As Chops1867 stated, you should spend a couple of weeks with online tutorials.
I browsed a bunch of vintage labels, found some that I liked, and designed my labels in a similar fashion. I'm not aware of any templates that are available.

Label for an upcoming Oatmeal Stout...inspired by Wilford Brimley

Hello everyone. I'm a noob here, I have a question for all you label makers. I would like to know what settings you're using to print your labels on the regular inkjet. I guess I mean what dimensions? and what kind of paper, can I use just regular paper? Thanks in advance for any responses.

I size mine to fit Avery mailing labels and have Office Max put them through a laser printer because inkjet ink runs when wet. Costs in Montana about 8 bucks for 60 labels. No sales tax here.

What program are you guys using to make these awesome labels? Are any of these programs free for use?

beerlabilizer.com 5 bucks to get access to templates some free ones available.
Also a little photoshop elements version 2. For the text.

Here's the labels for our 2 beers we have already made (red ale, and porter) and the label for the pale ale that is fermenting now. Pale ale ABV is not correct on the current label.

Where did you get the etched glasses? Was there a minimum?

 

[chefzman]

Fortunately for me I am in the restaurant business and have some connections. They were a gift from a good friend also in the business. I'll see what info he can tell me about them.

I've etched a few glasses (all of which I gave away, so I don't have any pics) with a roll of masking tape, an Xacto knife, and Armor Etch. They all come out great, but it takes a lot of time to cut out complex designs. Cheap though, a small jar of Armor Etch lasts a long time.

I've since gotten a Cricut machine that I use to cut stencils out of contact paper, then etch with Armor Etch.

Please post some pictures the next time you get a chance. I am curious to see what your bottles look like.

I don't do this to bottles (too much work for something like that), but I did happen to find a pic of this glass I made for my dad a while ago.



His first car was a '63 falcon that he paid $50 for, drove for 3 years, then sold for $50. About 10 years ago he found another one in New Hampshire that he bought. We've since spent countless hours working on it. Not that it needs a lot of work, its just fun to play with it. And my dad is awesome so these things are great to do with him.

 

[shoreman]

Oh ok I know that the minimum run on those is 72 at grandstand - I did them for my wedding. I couldn't justify it for just my house

Awesome!! I'm gonna do this to some glasses. Thanks!

And on the bottle. Had to slightly adjust the abv

 

[budaboff]

Just a few of my labels.

 

[Pickle29]

Bottling up my very first batch tomorrow, a cream ale. Decided to give a shot to whipping up a label even though I have no graphic design experience at all.

 

[chefzman]

I dig the label. Very cool.
