Which labels?

[brewtim]

I've got a few bottles building up now and I only know which brew it is which by the colour of the cap! Can anyone recommend a label that is easy to print and peel off?

I use these Avery laser labels.

They come off easily with a very quick soak in water.

There will be helpful people who will post, but its so much easier to make up a template in word and print your own off. You can usually get 4-6 per A4 sheet. Cut out and apply to the bottle with a little milk. It sticks like glue and you dont have the hassle of scrubbing off the sticky label afterwards as it peels itself off left in soapy water for 10 mins.

Save your money for more beer making :clap:

Label the caps, not the bottle.

There are also a couple of sites for labels:

or

http://start.beerlabelbuilder.com/

for either these or something created in word I also print onto A4 and stick with a light brush of milk :thumb:

+1 for sticking with milk. Works surprisingly well and soaks off dead easy.

I used full-fat. Not sure if skimmed would be up to the job! :lol:

Milk technique requires laser printer though.

Mine worked ok on ink jet. Maybe it depends on the paper and how much milk you brush on. I used very little.

Not if you spray the lables with hair spray, it fixes the ink so it doesn't run

Yep - I use inkjet as well - you have to use a v v little milk .. I like the hairspray idea though

I use laser printing and milk. Works great. If you don't have access to a laser printer, print off a sheet and use a colour photocopier.

Try, Beer label builder, great website where designing your own labels is very easy. You can add your own photos to the labels as well. Then copy the labels into a word document, print out and cut off.
