Shem Mankey 22 Report post Posted February 7, 2017 Is anyone labeling their bottles? What style of labels do you use - a simple hand written label or a custom made printed label? I think it would be great if coopers made available the labels and or label designs they already have for their brew prints for us to download or purchase in the online store. Would love to hear what everyone is doing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian-B 18 Report post Posted February 8, 2017 I knock up my own in Photoshop, laser print (inkjet will run when bottle gets wet), give the front a spray with matt spray and then stick on with a mounting type spray. That said, it'd be nice if the Brewart guys provided their labels - either the labels or just the art work would be good as I'd be happy using them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shane Pfeiffer 27 Report post Posted February 8, 2017 I don't have the bottles, however for my kegs I use a label maker. Picked one up from woolies for $25 that does the trick. Just peel it off when I'm done. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paddy 24 Report post Posted February 10, 2017 i thought I would do a label for my first brew. Found an online printer that had a built in design app so whipped one up. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derren Green 42 Report post Posted February 26, 2017 Made up a line of labels in PPT and print them on a laser printer. A little milk and they stick on really well, and wash off easily for the next batch. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duffman 106 Report post Posted February 27, 2017 Those look fantastic Derren! They ought to have a competition for best label design. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcm 70 Report post Posted February 27, 2017 This is rapidly becoming an issue as the diversity of brews under my house multiplies and I realise that the whiteboard marker I used on the bottles rubs off easily. I am inspired by this thread :-) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pursya 122 Report post Posted February 27, 2017 Fantastic Derren! We had a grumpy black cat for 21 years so can relate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derren Green 42 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 Thanks for the feedback all - I had fun making them. Appreciate it. Still working on other taglines - each brew needs its own! So far I have the following to use, as well as the ones above - can anyone think of anything else suitably humorous? Dinosaurs had no beer, and look how that worked out. To beer or not to beer - that is a silly question. If beer is the answer, what was the question? Life and beer are very similar - chill for best results. Technically, beer is a solution. Beer - because you can't drink bacon. Beer - because you don't win friends with salad. Education is important, but beer is importanter. All ideas warmly welcome! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
