My new batch!

[snowgirl812001]

Glad you like it! I let mine sit a while after sweetening and more sediment fell out (probably just all the cinnamon). So I racked it off, tasted and found it had lost most of the cinnamon flavor so I threw in a cinnamon stick and let it sit for another 2 weeks. Just bottled last weekend and its perfect. Just in time for the holidays.

Do you think the sticks work better? Maybe less crap in the bottles?

& by crap I meant the cinnamon that settles to the bottom lol

i actually think it does but at the same time i think its worth having the floaters in the bottles, my partial gallon test batch i used from this actually didnt retain a lot of the spice flavoring after a couple of weeks. for sure though if you dont want anything hangin around in the bottle go with the sticks

 

[snowgirl812001]

eh, floaters don't bother me (as long as I know what they are) hahaha.

They look great!!

Opinions? I think I need better paper, they are not looking as nice as I had hoped:/. I even tried a different pic, but seem to still be getting faint lines on them both.

 

[DirtyDawg10]

They look great from here. The faint lines are probably due to an inkjet printer. If you have access to a laser jet printer give it a try.

 

[Dend78]

looks great, for sure im thinkin thats printer like DD said, regardless still looks great!

I use photo paper. The labels require a bit more glue to keep them stuck to the bottle, but they look beautiful.

Do you use glue sticks?

 

[snowgirl812001]

Ok, I tried photo paper. They look so much better but now the glue stick doesn't seem enough to hold it on. Should I use something else? Hot glue? Also, the ink is rubbing off wherever I touch it. Please help :'(

 

[Dend78]

label quality looks much better for sure, you may try some liquid latex glue or even a little super glue, i dont know for sure because ive never labeled anything but that may be worth a try. I use masking tape and a pen

 

[DirtyDawg10]

I use regular paper and glue sticks for mine. I think the photo paper may require special inks and/or extra drying time. As far as glue I'm not sure what works because I haven't tried the photo paper but it looks like Southlake333 may be able to help.

Oh...I forgot to ask...what does it say on your coaster in that pic?

Lol, an interesting coaster set I found. There's also a drunk, wasted, hungover, tipsy one

 

[snowgirl812001]

ok, i read a thread on here where someone suggested spray polyurethane to keep ink from running.

 

[DirtyDawg10]

lol...I like the coaster.

The spray could work but it seems like a lot of work. I would check kinkos or staples and see how much it would be to have laser color prints done.
