labels

[lunitick1976]

I have star san, pbw, and iodiphore. which one will remove bottle lables the best with out ruining them. I just got a beer fridge (For FREE!!!!) and am wanting to try to cover the front and side of it (like wall papper) with beer lables, whats the best way to do this?

dry heat would probably be best to remove them without ruining them....depends on the labels though some are really hard to remove...

I've had pretty good luck with PBW on labels, but it's gonna depend on the type of label.

if your looking to get them off intact, the best after being stuck on the bottle method i have found is using a spray bottle that you can narrow the spray down to a stream and a razor blade. take the razor and lift up the edge of the label, squirt a bit of pbw or oxyclean under the edge, let it soak for 1-3 seconds, pry some more label up carefully with the razorblade. the best way i have ever found is to get a brewer to give you a label that has not been peeled off the sticky paper and pasted onto a bottle. i have a few kick ass dark of the moon labels from elyisan capital hill

I have not yet found a label that could outlast a soak in PBW. I does eat up the glue however, you'll probably have to supply your own adhesive.

Do you find that eating all that glue affects your BMs?

I would think it would come out a little stickey

I eats up ALL the glue!
