Monkeys + Root Beer=

[Jeff H]

Hello. I'm Kelly, and I've temporarily taken over my dad's account. We decided to give root beer making a try, since I've been helping him make his wine. And, of course, this meant labels were a must. I designed my own labels and bottlecap toppers, and here are the results.

That looks pretty cool there Kelly....And cool looking labels....How soon before itwill be ready drink???..And how much did you make??

 

[Jeff H]

Thanks! It should be ready to drink in about two weeks, and we made a gallon.

Great job Kelly! Are you going to make some other soda pops to?

 

[Jeff H]

Thanks! In the future, probably, if I can convince my dad to help.

[mississippi mud]

Did you taste it as you went?

 

[Jeff H]

We used this one:

We didn't taste as we went, but the scent was enough. (And boy, did it smell good!)

I never knew that was there!

There's all kinds here, and hopefully we can try some of them in the future. My dad wants to try cream soda and Ginger Ale, and I want to try raspberry. So we should be pretty busy.

Kelly, I love your label and caps! They are wonderful! It sounds as though you and your dad have an awesome new hobby! Congratulations on the first of many fun times spent together! You will remember it forever!

Sounds like a fun thing you did together....

We love root beer too....especially root beer floats on a hot day.

Thanks! We really had a great time doing it, and I can't wait until we get to make more. (and taste the results!)

Oh, those are always great. That'll definitely be something to try after they are all ready. We really did have a great time doing it.

Thank you! That link really helped us out, and my labels...well, they speak for themselves.

 

[Jeff H]

Great job, Kelly!

The label is great!

Thanks! I was originally going to do Le Chat Noir (the black cat in French), then I said what the heck and went with purple monkeys.


I think I made the right choice.

Hi Everyone,


I have my account back from Kelly....


Root beer making was alot of fun and Kelly did a great job especially on the labels (I love the cap labels the best) .

Thanks for all of the encouragement and kind words. I know she really appreciated it (and so did I!). We'll tell everyone in about 2 weeks how it came out.


Now back to our regularly scheduled program - Wine!
