Cleaning Stone bottles

[bobbyc]

I couldn't find any previous mention of this on the forum. Has anyone had any success cleaning off the labeling on Stone bottles? The painted-on Rogue bottles I have no problem scraping of the label with a knife... it only takes 4 or 5 minutes. The Stone labeling seems to be impervious to sharp blades.

Thanks

i use those for yeast/gyle storage and so far have not gotten any of the label off.

Why take the labeling off? The stone bottles are great as is. Plus the descriptions on the back are great, unless you like fizzy yellow beer.

they are funny...unless you actually want to know something about the beer, which can be a little hard to find sometimes, as i learned tonight while picking out a beer (looked at the levitation for a while before figuring out it wasn't what i wanted), and i almost put it down cause i wanted to get through the babble and see what style it was.
