Removing labels

[jonmc8]

Drink a lot of two hearted ale from Bells. All Bells labels come right off w soap and hot water after 20 minutes.

I could easily say I have hundreds of bells bottles in my brew arsenal.

Just another excuse to drink two hearted over Sam Adams!

I fill up my dishwasher and let it run on the long cycle. Take a few hours but my hands don't hurt from scrubbing off labels.

I toss mine in a 5 gallon bucket of starsan....it will also remove the paint from screen printed bottles with a little elbow grease

My newb .02...
I just removed the labels off my first 50 bottles this weekend. 30 minutes in a kitchen sink full of hot water, and a whole small box of baking soda.(89cents). Every one of the labels fell off in about 30 minutes, and the glue came off with a single swipe of a rag. After that I rinsed them good, and they were ready to be sanitized. They all look pristine.
BTW if Anyone tells me the baking soda wash will ruin my beer I may have to drive off a cliff.

+1 for the baking soda/powder. It really eats away the glue in a short amount of time.
