I learned about this trick from a fellow home brewer. I wasn't too keen on labling my bottles unless for a special occaison as it would simply add another step to my least favourite part of brewing: cleaning and sanitizing the bottles. However, if you get a good collection of homebrews going, you need a way to tell them apart. My friend's method is to use a spreadsheet program (like excel) to print out small square lables on sticker paper which he can cut himself and stick on the bottle caps. These can contain all the important information: name of beer, alcohol content, bottle date, and just about any other information you could want on there. This is also a plus if you are serving from a cooler, so people can see the selection without having to disturb the sediment. No real question here, just sharing an alternative to labling all your bottles.
Cheers!
