easy remove labels......

[BigGreen]

I never really labeled to many beers but if i was to, what kinda paper do ya use that comes off easy? Sos I can use the bottle again for something else

Plain paper, brush or rub milk on to get it to stick to the plastic, print on a laser (not inkjet) so the ink won't run when wet. Comes off with a quick rinse, but be warned that condensation will wrinkle the label, and storing the bottles in a tub of ice will likewise wrinkle/loosen the labels.

+1 to the milk. I've heard laser printers work better (along with glossy grade paper if you want rich colors to pop). I've only used ink jet printers with normal paper, however. I've had great success. The colors do bleed a touch, but since you're not drenching the label in milk, you'd never see the bleed if you weren't looking. In fact, I dont see a bleed on most of my labels even when I'm looking.

If you have access to a laser, use it. Otherwise, inkjet away!

I've only labeled one batch, but I just used plain printer paper and a "gel" glue stick. I put them in hot water and after 5 or 10 min the labels were all floating in the water, totally free of bottle with no residue. This method does well in the fridge too, but there was no condensation so I'm not sure how that would affect it.

I had a lot of success using a regular printer and the milk method. They come off with little to no effort when wet...but stay on very well otherwise. Be careful of submerging them in a cooler because you'll end up with a bunch of labels floating on top after awhile.

plain paper, print the label in windows at 9 per page, cut them out and use scotch tape on the sides (not the top or bottom of the label). when you want to take it off soak them in water, run your finger down the paper after it's soggy enough, and use the paper to pull off whats left of the tape on each side of the label. easy.

print on laser printer and secure with a rubber band.
