I tried CLR, paint thinner, and muriatic acid on Red Stripe labels. Nothing worked to take the label off. The muriatic acid did burn a hole in the soup can the experiment was sitting in!

My father (he's turning 93 this year!) found an empty case of Labbatt's and an empty case of Molson, both stubbies, both from (I think) the 70's. Cleaned 'em up and sterilized them, but the Emily capper won't work on them because the levers slide up the shoulders and the capper rises right off the top of the bottle; so, I'll hold off using them until I get a bench capper.

EDIT: Labbatt's labels practically wiped off, the Molson labels stuck like they were held on with gorilla glue.

i have one of the big ones i think it's 22-24oz not really sure. it's been one of my bottles for 3 years now. i used dishsoap and a stainless steel scrubbie and got all the paint off. takes like 5 mins

I'm going to need to figure this out in the next few months, I put the call out for bottles for the BW and am already getting people picking up sixers to drink for me.

Rev - what bottle did you end up going with? Wondering if you went the Red Stripe route?

I tried sanding one (manual sanding...not power tool), StarSan bath, and I got nothing. It's too much work...mine went out for recycling.

Actually there'a new Michigan brewery "North Peak Brewing Company" just started using them. I don't know if they are available out of Michigan, but I am excited. And the beer is pretty tasty as well.

Paper labels rock.
