Update: Original Sin Labels

Just a quick update. While waiting for the Inevitable Betrayal bottles to complete their sanitization sit, I went ahead and pulled the 16 pint bottles of Original Sin out of the Conditioning Cabinet and slapped labels on all of them. The process is actually easy:

Step 1 - Open the artwork in Microsoft Windows Photo Viewer

Step 2 - Print them 9 to a page to a handy-dandy color inkjet printer (9 per page ensures that they're all sized like a Wallet Photo, which is the proper size for 500mL and 740mL PET bottles.)

Step 3 - Cut them out so that no white shows. Don't worry about getting the edges "clean", they're going on a dark brown bottle - nobody will notice that they're not perfectly oval.

Step 4 - Use a glue stick to coat the backside of the label and stick it on the bottle, smoothing each label out when done so that they adhere uniformly.

That's all there is to it. The labels will be good for several months, and will come right off with soap and water or after a nice soak in a sudsy sink of OxyClean solution.

Behold the finished product!
