I was trying to think up an easy way to remove some labels on some old Sam Adams bottles I have and this is what I came up with:
Fill the Bottles with water all the way to the top and cap.
Next fill a bucket with water and some DIF wall paper remover(not the Gel type) according to the instructions on the bottle.
Then put the bottles in to soak for a while.(since they are full and capped they won't float and the DIF can't get into the bottles)
I am thinking the labels will come off really easy because the enzymes in the DIF actually eat glue. Then the bottles can be washed, uncapped and drained, sanitized etc....
Has anyone else ever tried this? I may give it a whirl later on today. I will keep you posted of the results when I do it.
