Continued Adventures in Homebrewing: Kegging!

My Christmas present this year was a cornelius keg kit. I picked it up yesterday and I’m very excited to keg my first batch of beer. The Midwinter Porter I just brewed will be my first draft beer.

I’ve been getting really tired of bottling over the last several months. The worst part has been cleaning and de-labeling bottles. But I just picked up some Straight-A and that stuff is great! Labels come off in a snap! So I’ll just have to brew more to keep my bottle supply filled and my keg.

Hello,

I am currently home brewing with the Mr. Beer home brewing kit and am using washed soda bottles - the 20 oz varieties.

I want to make labels for my bottles and was thinking of using Avery 2″ x 4″ labels. Are there special labels available or are these fairly good for use?

Thanks,
Jesse

I haven’t ever labeled my bottles. I’ve seen some labels on homebrew supply sites - like http://www.northernbrewer.com.

You’re going to love kegging! I did it a few years ago and I’ve never looked back. I’m at the stage where I want to fill multiple kegs now!

Jesse: I’ve just printed labels to paper at Kinko’s and then used a glue stick to place them on the wine bottles. Easy on, and easy off later! It’s the same for beer bottles.
