When I saw yours I was gonna say the same.. only other ones I've seen done on avery labels.



I first started handwriting them.. that lasted all of one or two batches before I said **** this.


I couldnt see myself hand writing them, that would suck. I need to up my font game now!
 
Haha glad we are all on the same page here. I did change the font and color to blue on my latest. Still not as fancy as yours.

Very nice..

I plan on doing a wax seal for my first time for my currently fermenting Imp. stout. It lost the krausen after 4 days but is still around 10 degrees above ambient temps so I imagine it's still fermenting quite well.

Was the krausen large and aggressive? Mine was out of control. I just waxed mine also. Really want to pop one of these soon but i still need at least a week or so. Then ill check one for science.

No it was super tame and the first time using calcium chloride in my mash water to help acidify and increase malt profile. Time and results will tell.

Did you use 50/50 crayon glue stick mixture?

How'd you do the wax? I've seen everything from glue sticks w/ crayons to candles to 'wine bottle wax'. I'm looking to do my RIS, but have a couple weeks before it matters.

HB rye saison
 
I just bought bottle wax. I boiled a pot of water with an empty soup can inside the pot filled with the wax beads. I tried the glue stick way but didnt have much luck on my stove. Ive done maybe 65 bottles and still have 1/3 or so of the wax left.

Another Coff.

Sanitizing bottles so I can bottle another beer. Smells ridiculous.

It's 60F on the first floor of my house; little warmer upstairs. Ridiculous temps.
