To be honest I don't label bottles for personal consumption, I do keep fairly comprehensive notes and also run off a summary sheet with a one-line précis for each which will tell me brew ref., name, date started, OG, date bottled, FG, abv, yield and unit cost. A copy of that is kept down the cellar but my bottles only carry a small sticker with brew ref. and name, for example âWurzel 63â. My beers just have a reference written on the crown cap in permanent marker, for example â6FGâ for AG#6, First Gold.
If I'm giving wines away I will label with name, month started, medium-dry (or whatever) and abv.
