First, that is possibly the best user name I have ever seen. Well done. and second, IS there an efficient way to take labels off when it's time to do so?:)

When I want to get labels off of old Sam Adams or Saranac bottles I soak them inside and out with OxyClean: 1 Tablespoon per gallon of hot water. I have a large-ish plastic tub that can hold almost exactly a case of bottles. I let them soak inside and out for about 20 minutes, then run each bottle under warm tap water: they slide right off.

Make sure you get the "free and clear" OxyClean. Cheapest, most effective all-purpose brew wash you'll find.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll prob start using it over PBW. That Sh*&s EXPENSIVE.
 
IPA, brewed outside on New Year's Day in 19 degree temps. It has a nice grapefruity hoppiness. The dog doesn't affect the flavor, to my knowledge. The leg lamp just adds to the ambience.

"Fragile" it must be Italian! Ha ha, the leg lamp, we watch that movie every year and have for who knows how long. Awesome looking brew too.

After 500 or so I just about figured out how to get the labels off.:) 48 qt cooler filled with hot water and oxy. Let um sit for a couple days and they are off on their own.
