I do want to have a go as it's a favourite in our house but not sure of malt percentages so haven't yet. Starting gravity of 14 is about 1.047 And finishing 3.5 is about 1.014

Thats cool Marksa222. First fancy label of many.

yeah it's that simple Fatcol. I discovered that method through forums like this when I started and haven't looked back. The labels come off in seconds with hot water and don't leave any nasty glue.

I use the 60 watt tubular heater from toolstation too. Can't falt it.

Have to confess JamesMcS, I'm still using milk :p

Hey guys, thanks for checking it over for me. I'm afraid I'm not actually a gimp user either so not sure about multiple labels. I'm a fireworks user but given the cost of graphics software I thought it might be a good thing to work out the basics for folk who don't have access to proper...

Guys, I put a post on my blog a while back about making labels for your beer and it's been a massively popular post, so I thought I'd do an update and actually show folk how to use some of the free software to make labels of your own. It's been quite a lengthy day writing it up so I'd...

I hope you are right, looking forward to it but also a bit worried as it's for a kit trial for the beer club on Sunday.

Glad someone asked about this as it's something I'd be really interested in. My dad is a recovering alcoholic and so can't drink any beer, although we share some of the non alcoholic stuff occaisionally. But he is always really disappointed that he can't taste any of my beers as he's quite...

Herriot Watt university in Edinburgh are the big university for brewing. Drop their web team an email to pass to their students.

I did the pale ale as a trial kit for our brew club. It's bottled and carbonating just now, fingers crossed. The kits seemed to be decent quality, hooing it tastes good.

I like the idea of them being like stamps. Do the labels come off when there is condensation on the bottles?

Hey OldBloke, someone else mentioned the enzyme as well. That sounds perfect so going to do a bit of research into that thanks guys I appreciate your help

I think I'm gonna need some expert help for my next batch. The girls at work have just asked me to brew a gluten free beer for one of our colleagues who is celiac. I've seen some kits available but wondering if anyone has any experience of actually brewing gluten free and is it possible to get...

Things are looking good for my elderflower sparkling wine. The gravity is down to 0.991 guess it was fermenting away no problem :) I'm more excited about this than I normally am about beer.
