I remember when they first putting started the warming to pregnant women on the labels a women comedian said "There should a warning to women that alcohol can lead to or cause pregnancy".
Great "Zero Wing" blast from the past meme. An all-time classic.Here's the first of a series for my mixed ferm sours. They will all be Seinfeld themed like this. And I have a stout ready to bottle that may be named Festivus for the Rest of Us!

These are the labels for our Christmas beers this year.
Left - Jupiter Series: Barrel Aged Imperial S'mores Stout
Right - Jupiter Series: Peanut Butter Imperial S'mores Stout
Mid - British Brown Ale (Nut Brown)(Label is supposed to look like an ugly sweater)
We always wax the top of our Christmas stout and this year, we ventured out and tried a different brand of wax. Terrible idea!!! It was thick and hard to work with. I'm pretty sure whoever gets those is going to need a jack hammer to open them. Needless to say, we stopped after 8 bottles and ordered new wax. So the "Jupiter Series" bottles will have white wax on top.

So what is the "good" wax to use? Thx.

Melt some glue sticks 2/3 and crayons 1/3.
i’m sorry, what? Is that food safe for bottle tops? It sounds too simple.
I had read an online post about this somewhere actually. Not on HBT. They had said in that post if you don't get the ratio right of glue to crayons, it makes it very hard to work with. You can easily buy bottle wax so I didn't want to mess with that method and chance it[emoji848]
I waxed one time with 1/2 red crayons and 1/2 glue sticks. Melt them in a pot, stir and dip the bottle! I recommend at least 3/4 ratio glue sticks since some started to crack once they cooled.
Food safe? It’s outside the bottle... [emoji482]

Just for fun, my friend made up a logo for my homebrew. It turned out to make a pretty nice prototype.
Any and all feedback appreciated.

edit: I do all of this work by myself and I’m open to commissions. PM if you are interested.
those are digital mockups. But I think you can use some sort of vinyl stickers to cover all surface of a can. GoogleHow are you printing the labels?
What paper did you use for this?
I use the Brown Kraft Labels From Label Outfitters:
https://www.labeloutfitters.com/Brown-Kraft-Inkjet-Printer-Labels_c_267.html
I love the look of them on brown glass. but know two things:
1) the adhesive is a ***** to remove... I have to boil, caustic soak & finish with WD40.
2) because they are rough textured, laser printing them looks good initially, but fades a bit when handled.
Cheers!
Label looks great! But, with your negative comments why use them?
...
To protect the label I found a clear ureathane film I apply over it. Removes by simply peeling. If I get around to it this weekend I’ll post.
Cheers!
Simple and cheap labels that I found on Amazon. Not waterproof and they will no doubt be a mess in a cooler with ice, but they are labeled and they were inexpensive too. View attachment 663308
As I'm only starting out, and just wanted something so I can tell which bottle is which.
I made a design using normal address labels, to be stuck on the bottles at an angle. I think they look ok
Originally, I had a howler monkey in mind for my logo. But the "howl" never really came through. And once someone said the mouth made it look like a cock sucking monkey... That's all I saw.Just for fun, my friend made up a logo for my homebrew. It turned out to make a pretty nice prototype.
Any and all feedback appreciated.

Oh thanks!
The labels were the cheapest of the cheap, so I imagine they'll soak off fairly easily? (although, I guess you know otherwise!?) Thinking about it, mail gets wet, so they'll stay put. Ah well! Maybe next time I'll stick them to soapy bottles. I've done that before to make permanent adhesive less clingy and it normally works quite well.
Epson has a water proof ink for some of their printers. I used them before and they do not run or fade.Brewed in 2010 and bottled in 2020... WOW!
