The one aspect of making your own beer and or wine that so unique to this hobby versus other ones is customization. You can literally do what ever you would like to do when making your own beer and wine.
A personal favorite for me with making beer and wine is having your own fictitious company and calling your recipes what ever you would like to call them. It becomes fun to have your own, “business” coming up with labels for your different beer and wine. I’ve seen labels and logos from customers that should be submitted to art shows because they are so beautiful versus some of my friends which are hilarious with raunchy names (examples should not be provided). But that’s the beauty of the hobby, it’s what ever direction you want to take it.
So to add to the customization of your own beer and wine I wanted to share a label making website which is free. This can add a little something extra to your homebrew or your wine, especially when giving it as a gift.
The place that I’ve been going to recently for labels is labeley.com. There is no cost to it and pretty easy to use.
If you know any other good websites, please let us know.

Your labels are pretty legit though, did you have to pay for them?

beerlabelizer.com is also a classic quick and dirty easy to use site.

Sweet! The site seems pretty legit, in some ways I think it’s easier to use.

So, how does one tackle affixing the label you just made to a bottle?

If you print out the labels on regular paper I’m told that you can spirits the back side of the label with milk and then it sticks pretty well.
I also found this video which helps:
