Kettle Marking

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.... :(

My dowel stick worked great when I used it. Another great idea borrowed from the Hat.

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.

Way to go Sparrow The Hat definitely should have a logo. We love The Hat. :hammer:

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.
