Or "How easily gelatined labels come off in hot water"

https://youtu.be/zjRHmnnvQI0

These labels were applied with about 1 g of gelatine mixed with 30 ml of water which was enough for 2 cases of bottles.

If you can do this in a bucket in a batch you'll be removing clean bottles as soon as you finish putting a batch in.

I'm sure there are some people out there who don't do labels because they don't know how easy it really can be to remove them.
 
The boiled water method is fast, if you are in a hurry. I put my gelatin pasted label bottles, label pointing up, in the sink with a wet dishrag over them, and leave them overnight. In the morning, the labels fall off. :mug:

Gelatined labels are home brew labels printed on laser printer paper and then applied to the bottle by the homebrewer using a gelatin/water mixture
