I got bored and made this for my Chocolate Milk Stout. I use Avery shipping labels #8168, which come off after a day soaking in a PBW solution. Let me know what you think.

Sounds like the overall vote is that I should leave well enough alone. I'll probably start this batch early next week, I have to put my Bourbon Barrel Porter into secondary first ;) Thanks for all of the help!

Sorry guys, forgot to add the yeast to the recipe. Its a Wyeast 1388 Belgian Strong Ale (gotta love the smack pack). I was just curious if you had any ideas for variations. I'm fairly new to the hobby, this will be my 5th batch, and am looking to learn more. Thanks guys!

Hey guys, I have a kit for Belgian Strong Golden Ale from Northern Brewer and I was hoping you could provide some ideas/tips on how to dress it up a little. The current ingredients are: .25 lbs Belgian Caramel Pils .25 lbs Belgian biscuit 3lbs Golden light DME (60 minutes) 4lbs Golden light...

I soak my bottles for 2 days in PBW, the labels fall right off. After that a rinse with hot water from a Jet Bottle Washer and a quick soak, maybe 30 minutes, in Easy Clean and I'm ready to bottle. Granted I've only bottled 3 batches, about 150 bottles worth, but I have yet to have any explode.
