Home Brewed Beer Labels

Well I am thinking of having a go at brewing some beer and to add to the fun I also want to print some labels to stick on it!! I have never done any printing of this sort so could someone point me in the direction of what I would need? I would like to make the design on computer and then print it out if poss? I am using an iMac. Any suggestions of the best home brew kits would also be very much appreciated!!

Thanks FC, any particular kind of printer needed? I actually don't have a printer!!

I use Art of Brewing, never had a problem with them. Depends on what type of beer you want, but for a standard bitter i'd go for a Geordie Bitter.

I got an Advent A10 for £20.

It's great. Far better than the Kodak which is now in landfill.

 

Any compatible printer, then either use ordinary paper and prit stik or spend money on sticky backed paper
You know what is in the bottles anyway, and mine would not last long enough to be worth the labelling :-)

When I used to do labels for my fishing bait, I used the template on Microsoft to design them and printed onto self adhesive labels. You have a selection of sizes and makes to choose from. If you of use self adhesive labels make sure that they are decent quality, as I found cheaper ones come unstuck when in the cold.
