This might be easier. Use a cooler taller than the bottles, fill each bottle with warm water to weigh the bottle down for the next step, add one scoop of unscented oxi clean into the cooler, fill the cooler with warm to hot water just above the labels. Close the cooler lid to keep the heat. The labels will literally float off in a few hours. Any residue can be wiped off with a paper towel or sponge running the bottle under warm water. I’ve got so many Little Sumpin’ labels I just don’t know what to do with them.

Ive had the most trouble with Lagunitas bottles, just a headsup to people. Ballast point was super super easy for me so idk why he had a different experience.I soaked the bottles in hot water and a little bit of vinegar/dish soap and the ballast point labels legit peeled right off. 24 Lagunitas bottles took hours for me even after soaking.

Place your bottles on a big plastic container, fill it up with water and add some PBW into it. Leave them overnight, and the labels will practically fall off themselves.

Great Video, I probably would have bought bottles at the home brew store when I go next week. I guess I have an excuse to acquire a plethora of lagunitas beer over the next couple of days.

I use a stainless steel scourer to clean the labels from my bottles. It works like the knife and the scotch bright in one.

Stone labels suck to remove too. The labels aren't necessarily difficult to remove but the residue they leave behind doesn't come off, even with rubbing alcohol.

I was discovering that my self, might try acetone as a removing agent, but there is the inside...

I like the idea about using a butter knife. If you use steel wool instead of a sponge, it works wonders for removing that glue.

Labels on European beer bottles (except Guinness) fall off after soaking in hot water (no scraping). Anchor Steam labels are also really easy to remove.

i have hundreds of 16 ounce , heavy gauge bottles from a local brewer and the fekkin labels arent responding to much of any method ive tried yet . the fortunate thing is i live in the sticks , all alone and recently retired , so if it takes me a week to prep 48 bottles -- oh well . funny thing about the old labels . when someone drinks your beer , they start looking at the label . you tell them the label is from a previous application and means nothing . the next thing you know theyre reading the label again . you just cant fix human nature , thats why the fuck im alone .
