Hi guys and gals i was wondering what everyone is using for their own custom labels for their craft beer these days. I just use a little sticker from the dollar store on the cap with date and abbreviation of style of beer.

This is what I use: http://www.brewnosers.org/forums/viewto ... zer#p68726" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Might find some answers in that thread also. :cheers2:

I make my own wine labels and they turn out good. I use this software, http://www.labelhelper.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. It's free but you have to email them for the license key.

So far I just print on plain paper and stick them on this a glue stick but I'd like to get the removable vinyl ones like this, http://www.texascraft.com/hps/Inkjet-Wh ... heets.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. That way I could remove them and use them for the next batch.

Masking tape and sharpie, stuck to the keg. Numbers on caps of bottles. Plain, simple, cheap. :)

A different colour tape for each beer would save writing on each bottle.

I usually just use a sharpie on the cap.

However if i want to get "fancy", I print off some labels on a laser printer and stick them on with milk.

I did a few up on Uline labels with the color printer at work. I was pretty happy with them. Cant seem to find a picture of a bottle though
