What are you using to do the labels with.
I tried to label mine & they were just crap so I took them off.

I tried to label mine & they were just crap so I took them off.

I just did colour printed labels designed from photoshop and used clear packaging tape (to protect the label) carefully joined to make the labels and trimmed them off with a scalpel blade. Its not professional but I am a home brewer after all .. and it is the love of brewing rather than being a professional printer!!

Heres one of them A braggot label .. Honey care of a good friend.

I see there is some competition in the mead section this year...
I thought I may have had it all wrapped up but I see you are the one wrapping today or is it just a stout you have?

Driving up, I'll most likely be too fooked to think about waking up before midday sunday...

Cant wait to taste this then Grainer


I had plans of doing a mead, but the honey is still in a big bucket staring at me everytime I walk past.

 

[Grainer]

I got 20kg in the hallway too .. lol

 

[Lincoln2]

Damn, I'm entering a mead also (just the honey, water & yeast variety). It's pretty good but a few more months would have been nice. Like Dae Tripper, I was expecting less entries than, for example, the pale ale category. Oh well, like Shaunous says, we'll have fun necking it.

 

[Grainer]

Maybe.. I should send my pure meads lol... there is still time so you have some more competition ..

The more you send, the more we'll drink. This will make you legally liable for unwanted pregnancies, AVOs, broken bones and contusions, people getting stuck in cat doors, divorces, bail money, lost shoes and ingestion of questionable food products at 2am.
