Haha im liking the ducks Niel

Nah, only fiddle with photoshop in the time i have between college, drinking, gigging and gaming, i'll have a bash at requests tho, never thought about it before, dont expect them to be full on :o quality though haha

Mocked up another label for a dark ale ive just started to brew

Wait....Milk? What? haha

So does normal paper and pritt stick really work? lol

Not sure if there was a thread on this already, and was unsure or where to put it. Where do you get your labels printed? Ive already designed a number of labels, but have no idea how to get them printed off, and then stick them to my bottles. Also, post your labels here! :grin: These are some...

haha good idea lol i took another reading and its still quite low, its been a week now and its fluctuated around the 1.020 - 1.015 mark and back, i dunno whether ive done something wrong or what haha

*Phew* Thanks, i was in cold sweats hoping that i hadnt screwed it up. Is there any way to up the ABV other than adding more sugar or yeast in the beginning of the broth? In a conversation with someone at work they said when brewing ales, sprinkling in sugar every few days with up the abv, but...

As i explained in the introduction forum, im a first time brewer, brewing 5g of lager from a kit as we speak. One problem though, i followed the instructions in the kit exactly, but forgot to take the starting gravity with the hydrometer provided. Its been 3 days since i started to brew, and...
