Something like Flanders Brown Ale in 2 "editions". Spontaneous ferment (wild yeast).

And I have no problem with someone in Nevada using it.

Man, I just had my Saturday morning coffee and read this whole thread. I love the labels and the names, really creative and lots of laughs. I love naming my stuff, it's just part of the fun. I've got to up my label game though. :think:

Great approach, SS!

Did you cut the ovals by hand or is it a die cut?

And judging by the ingredients, the gin is completely non-alcoholic ;)

Printed onto sticker paper by a local office supply outlet Vlag.
They come four to a A4 sheet at around $1.20 per sheet.
Yes do have to cut them out yourself
The ingredient list is on the back of all bottles, the ABV is 43% and is on the far left of front lable.

With a print run of 40-50 pieces, my stickers cost me 12 cents on self-adhesive paper. But in this case, they have a rectangular cutout. So, yes: sometimes just a color laser printer and scissors :)

:twisted: Cutting 20-30 of these makes me crazy:

What kind of rye (and when) added: unmalted?

Let's never fight. And if the bottle runs out, just bring another one :wave:

Well this years whisky is Gladfields peat malt and gotta say mashing this malt is a totally new twist to me as I did managed to get the mash to 1110 SG :thumbup:

Now I'm doing generations with this so after the first mash do a sugarback then take out all the spent grain and I did a 50/50 mix of the peat malt and the distillers malt did the mash and added backset on each run to make a sour mash.

Got the first run with some of the sugarback in my badmo barrel and my plan is keep the generations going until I have all my demis filled as not having to malt the grains makes it so much easier.

Of my experiments to reinforce Mr.Peat:

1) backset, yupp
2) sweet waters to the next mash
3) making the "scent" (to mature separately) - close-to-tails 65%..60% fraction of the second run + sweet waters + a bit of ferment + a bit of fresh wort + lotsa charred oak + aeration / makes me an effect of smoked eel

Cheers :wink:
