How to easily remove beer bottle labels.
Label removal depends on the company that bottled the brew. I live in Michigan and some local brewer labels magically fall off after a 20 minute soak in hot water. Other local brewers use plastic laminar labels and a silicon type adhesive. If I soak them for the next 20 years they still will not come off. I have found that most German beer labels come off easily. So...if it does not come off easily, pass that brand. When I found a type of beer that had easily removable labels, I spread the word at work and people were willing to donate their bottles to a homebrewer. That shows the generosity of fellow beer drinkers when you consider that bottle deposit is 10 cents a bottle here in this state.
I soak the bottles in PBW, and that takes the label off pretty good.
I might be the only person who leaves them on? I even leave on my old batch number labels I like the running history on each bottle. I have some that are just lucky bottles, never a bad batch on em!
