Candy cane wine? What was your recipe? That sounds like a fun one to try. Great looking label btw.

For a 3gallon batch:
54 candy canes
1/8 pectic enzyme
6 cans Welch's white grape concentrate
1 tsp nutrient
1 tsp energizer
1 banana with skin, I sliced the banana

I started with an sg of 1.084, acid .60%, after it ferments to dry, stabilize and taste,there really wasn't much in the way of taste so I use about a tablespoon of McCormicks peppermint but I have found Watkins peppermint at Walmart, this is a natural extract so use this if you can find it. Start with a tsp of peppermint, taste and add more to your liking, then backsweeten, I used 24 candy canes (this will also bring out a nice pick color) and one bottle of corn syrup (corn syrup gives it a real nice mouth feel), final gravity was 1.032 BUT I added Ghirardelli 70% chococate, 2 pkgs, should be 7 oz. for 2 months., rack, let it clear and bottle.

this is a great recipe for those who were lucky enough to snag a bunch of candy canes after christmas this year!!

not wine but my first lable, made this for a batch of limoncello i'm giving out as a wedding favor at my wedding. I just put on the lables last night, i'll add a bottle pick to this post.

think I'm going to keep the main logo though, kinda like what I came up with. might see if I can come up with an efficent way to just etch that JK on my bottles.

Nice artwork, but what exactly is "Ade?"
Did you mean "Aide?"

These are absolutely amazing, my favorite has to be the Jesus juice. Although don't get me started on Tebow. That label made me laugh.

Do most of you guys have them professionally designed or do you simply do it yourself? I can tell some are done at home, but some look like they were done by talented graphic designers.

Also, do you guys sell your brew or is it simply a way to decorate bottles that you give to friends/family?

Great job on some of these!

LoneTreeFarms · May 12, 2012

Thanks!! Most of the labels are strictly for home use and gifts. Some of mine are made using tubes purchased online and editing them with gimp. It a free software. Enjoy and feel free to use any that I post.

More awesome labels.

I'm sure having an element of creativity is something that recipients really appreciate.

On a side note, I have used Gimp and for being a free software it is pretty amazing I must say. Not a bad deal for designing labels for your brew. It's tough to beat free.

Keep up the good work

Love that label!

TheCalvs · Jun 4, 2013

My name is Calvin but my friends on occasion call me Le Calvon so I figured I'd go with that... So I photoshopped myself up like a french commander. Lol.

vNmd · Jun 4, 2013

I have a few so far. My first was for an Irish Red Ale. I am in IT and love Linux, so the label wrote itself:

My first Jam wine:

My mead label is kind of an inside joke (I work on Ft. Meade):

My first lager was a Heineken clone. For the 12 ounce bottles:

For the 22 ounce bottles:

My apple Riesling label was the second recipe (had to pay homage to the Apple II)

More to come...

LoneTreeFarms · Jun 5, 2013

My girlfriend made this one for me and I think it looks amazing. If you look close enough, the padlock is a word lock that has doa printed into it

Helps to have a Graphic Artist girlfriend at times like these, so I told her to have fun with it especially since unlabeled bottles were piling up and I was making labeling mistakes already. We put together a quick label for now and all she does is swap colors and fruit to go between different wines. I promised myself to use that expensive camera for the next round and incorporate some nice pictures in there. So here goes....
