I take masking tape and label what's in all the carboys, then as I fill the corny kegs, I pull the label off and stick it to the keg. I have 8 carboys and 7kegs. I label my 25,,5gal homer buckets full of grain too. I'm getting old and I forget.
I number my fermenters. I numbered them with a sharpie. I figure that way if I ever get and infected batch I know which fermenter was the culprit. Luckily I have nevr had an infected batch.
Then for each batch I write the date and the name of the brew on masking. tape.
I do not label/name the fermenters, but i was just the other day thinking i needed to. This was after ruining my annual altbier because I forgot which fermenter just had a 100% Brett batch in it! I gambled...and lost
I've thought about doing something like that with my kegs, so I can keep better maintenance records.

Is anyone as nerdy as me and take the time to label fermenters?

In addition to a full brewing log with brew day, fermentation, and tasting notes, have I taken the nerdiness to a whole new level?
My fermenters are lucky if they get a sticky note with what's in them, honestly.
