OxyClean in a huge Rubbermaid container made for lighter work, but some of those labels took quite a bit of soaking. One in particular just wasn't softening at all even after 24+hours of soaking... I realized it was a plastic label... DOH!:cross:

3 cases and change worth of bottles... pretty cool.

I keg and still love bottling. That being said I do the set and forget method I put my bottles in a cooler full of hot water for 24 good try to peel the labels then put them in hot water for another 24 most of the labels come off and the remaining I hit with a ss scruby and my bottles are clean cheers Chopps
 
24 hours soak in a hot water / oxyclean bath followed up with a green scrubbie will take just about every label right off. Plastic and painted on labels excluded... :)

It's nice when they peel off whole. I'm saving them for a 'paper mache'd kegerator'.
