    Hulud, Since photoshop isnt specifically set up for label making and is more of a photo editing software, it is bit more complicated than that. I just bottled some pinot noir and plan on making labels soon. Ill be sure to post the template when I do that.

    How I print beer lables for cheap. small runs and long runs, waterproof-ish.

    biohaz7331, There is no other reason to do it but just pure aesthetics, for the looks. It also gives a bit of a more 'hand made' feel to it. I wouldn't do it again tough... It was nearly impossible to clean the wax off the bottles...

    How I print beer lables for cheap. small runs and long runs, waterproof-ish.

    Keatz85, They hold up well in ice. Like any label, soaking in water is another thing.. but if you make sure to get the corners well and don't pick at them, they stay on. The main reasons i use kinkos / office max is because printer ink is so expensive and they print with laser jet printers...

    How I print beer lables for cheap. small runs and long runs, waterproof-ish.

    These ones in the pictures are 3.6" width x 3.25" Height. If you look at the image of the labels on the physical bottles, you will see that If i had my labels were any larger than 3.25" on the height, they would overlap the curvy neck of the bottle and it would look funny. All bottles are...

    I use Photoshop and Illustrator. I usually do start with a background in photoshop and then lay everything out in illustrator and then mix them together.

    How I print beer lables for cheap. small runs and long runs, waterproof-ish.

    Good advice! I should have mentioned that. I didnt actually document this live, i re-created these images for example yesterday. During my 50 bottle run, I sprayed mine in my basement on a large piece of cardboard. I found out the hard way too ha.

    How I print beer lables for cheap. small runs and long runs, waterproof-ish.

    Yup. Officemax has a 3 ring binder of papers you can choose to print off of. I picked one that was semi-glossy and wasnt too thick. I didnt want it to be so heavy it would fall off the bottle. If soaked in warm water, they peal off quite nicely. I have tried dried milk as an adhesive and if...

    Sounds great. Ive heard great results both ways. Expect a bit less volume on your beer if the pumpkin guts made its way into the primary.

    First brew/ pumpkin ale

    I used (1) 36oz canned pumpkin and about 4-5lbs of roasted pumpkin. I gutted the pumpkin, cut it to small cubes, skin side down, and baked for 60 minutes at 350 F. Then I scrapped off the skin and mushed it into a squash like consistency. I then put this mixture into a large muslin bag and...
