Kettle Marking

Post by Inkleg »

Ran across this on Kettle Marking.
I think I'm going to try and put my Naked Cat Brewery logo on the outside of my kettle. I'll post pictures when I get around to it (could be awhile though).
If anyone does it let us know how it works.

Pretty cool.
Have you seen this? Not nearly as fun and costs a few bucks.
I have seen but can't find now, a spray marking systems that I think is about $20. Might not be around anymore but I think it use to be found in hardware stores.

Be careful regarding corrosion. http://www.reddit.com/r/Homebrewing/com ... ss_kettle/ is a good read on how to avoid that and use the method listed in the OP...

You must post pictures when you do this!

If it is really that easy I could see putting my logo on the outside of my kegs. Just because.

That's a pretty neat idea, but the "no more measuring stick!" comment kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I mean, it's just a measuring stick, it's not a lot of heavy lifting. Yeah, it's one more thing to wash, but get over it, man.

Using this method to put your logo on your pots is a cool idea, though. I just wish I had a logo.... :(

I'm kinda envisioning "Fedora Dave's Brewhuose" up top.

With a picture or drawing of a fedora hanging on the wall.

Then "Come on in, take your hat off and relax a spell" on the bottom. :)

Well, Dag, no goatee, but I knocked around in Photoshop for about 5 minutes with some online clip art...

Pretty good sparrow. We know how Dave hates to get his Hat dirty, so I guess that's why the lid on the stein isn't the hat.
Again, good job. Now, lets see what Dave thinks of it.

5 or 10 minutes on the web and Photoshop is the least I can do for Dave for all the wisdom he has imparted over the years.

It was really just kind of doodling. If Dave has something more specific in mind I might be able to whip it up.
