The template on the product page was a bit out - that could be down to my printer or the template, so I adjusted it.

Here's my adjusted version: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=E ... ile%2cdocx
Ingredients: Water, Barley, Hops, Yeast, Seaweed, Blood, Sweat, The swim bladder of a sturgeon, My enemies tears, Scenes of mild peril, An otter's handbag and Riboflavin.

Masking tape and a brio for me and most of the time sterilising takes the ink off, so the tapes re usable

The labels come off glass with some hot water so I may look at getting rectangular ones for the bottles in future.

Just ordered some of those, cheers.

For now I am going with the coloured stickers and will look to introduce a whiteboard for quick reference. I wanted to keep it simple and cost effective. Thanks for all the ideas and I am glad others have got something out of the thread.

I like this !

Currently i use Avery labels
http://www.avery.co.uk/avery/en_gb/Temp ... t-Word.htm
I use Microsoft word with an Avery "add-on" to print them off, simple quick and easy.
but i think i prefer Jockies method as i wouldn't have to pee about scrubbing the labels off the side of bottles.
nice idea that =D>

I print a label on plain white paper and stick to the bottle with plain milk. Easy, cheap, looks professional and easily removed. 8cm square is a good size and you can fit 8 on an A4 sheet.

Here is a recent one...

All of my labels are exactly the same.

I just write in the applicable info on the boxes on the right and slap them on with pritt stick,

If you already have your label setup on your computer is it not easier to just fill in the brew info once on there then print them, you could even use a handwriting font?

Probably too easy for me to have thought up myself...

That'll be a time saver next time!
