Any suggestions for a program for making beer bottle labels without requiring a degree in graphic design??

Woo-hoo!!!!

Dont know if quick replys count so i'm replying here as well. I'm happy to be part of you guys and looking forward to many years of brewing and growing in the hobby. first all grain scheduled for april. Cheers!!!

as a new homebrewer from Queens, NY. Brewing out of my condo, would love that conical......haha. Just happy to be part of the revolution. Cheers!!

Is there a most forgiving style to brew for a first all grain attempt?

When brewing a big beer, is it okay to rehydrate multiple packs of dry yeast instead of using a yeast starter?

haha, my wife found out when she found my first batch bubbling 3 days into fermentation. she didnt know what the heck it was...lol. of course i had to beg for forgiveness....she did end up buying me the 8 gal brewpot tho...good luck.

thanks for the replies. i guess i'll steep and sparge as per the recipe. add water to make 5 gallon boil and top of whatever in the fermenter. i appreciate the help.

Can i boil the full 5 gallons with a partial mash recipe? I was checking instructions on a midwest supplies kit (cascade pale ale) and it calls for 2 1/2 gallons (1 for steep 1 1/2 for sparge) for boil and add cold water in fermenter. And if I can, should I sparge with more than the 1 1/2...
