Kind of, I made up a few labels for christmas presents. I think I only used 2 or 3 & decided I didnt like them, when applied. The handful of people that got them knew what it was coming from me.
I did get my "generic" wine bottle labels in a few weeks ago. Still in the package on my desk. Havent even put them on the keeper bottles yet.

Re: Home made bottle labels
My own was 95% so far... and this time I also made a couple of "special edition" / less sugar but lemon juice added.
Made up 10 bottles of 'cello (all for presents). Also 8 bottles of my apple pie are in process, too. All for gifts. Some of them will take a long trip to other cities like Moscow etc. And we present them all here for the New Year (on Dec.31, @ 11:55pm).jog666 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 24, 2019 3:54 am Kind of, I made up a few labels for christmas presents.

For ordinary cases, I use some generics (with some empty space in the middle of), too.

🎱 The struggle is real and this rabbit hole just got interesting.
Per a conversation I had with Mr. Jay Gibbs regarding white oak barrel staves: “…you gotta get it burning good.”

Thanks for giving this a bump!
Made my share of contributions over the last couple of years.
Need to get back in the shed AND in the design studio.

Re: Home made bottle labels
The Atomic Age looks like the legacy of the Soviet era... I realize that the trends in poster design 50-70 were global, but nonetheless ... it looks great and strongly refers to those times.

Did some bottles of corn,wheat and barley up to look pretty for my daughters 18th party. Thought they came out ok.

Thanks mate, yes little light on the oak and only used medium toast Appalachian oak. Was UJ style mash with some sugar but no colour.

Re: Home made bottle labels
Noted with thanks

So, looks like your stave was not big at all...
Was it inside during the whole year or pulled out a bit prior to the likker's "readiness"?

In an incomprehensible way, the face looks like my elder youngster's one.

Re: Home made bottle labels
I really need to get working on bottle labels for my stuff. I often have so many stuff in bottles I forget what's in there.

Re: Home made bottle labels
Haha I'm lazy. Right now I'm using small round stickers (labels) that I stick on the caps and crowns to mark what's in there. But I want labels to show off my stuff a bit nicer. I work hard to produce good stuff, so it only makes sense.

The good stuff requires some good markiting efforts, too. Good luck

Re: Home made bottle labels
Alcoholics I know consider this postmodern. I only see the bottles in the streaks of Star San and the labels that your obedient servant and the office printer "compiled" in 5 minutes.

This hobby really is not so much about making alcohol. But bottling opportunities to make memories with Friends and Family.

Re: Home made bottle labels
A good idea. That obliges not only them but also you, though

Re: Home made bottle labels
I wish I had found this thread last year, my labels are pretty mundane compared to this lot.
Taking a break while I get a new still completed....
