Greetings All!
I am trying to find a way to mark lines for each gallon on my 6.5 gallon glass carboy but everything seems to quickly wash off of glass. I tried a regular sharpie the first time and it washed right off after I cleaned the carboy. I did a search on HBT and found a thread about using an acid-wash to etch the glass. A little wary of that but a lot of brewers seem to like it.
Has anyone found a successful way to mark glass that will stand the test of time? I'd love to hear what you have done to solve this!
