Ever notice some labels and glue just don't come off the bottles good when recycling? I have a proven way to clean used bottles using oxiclean, hot water and a all night soak and 90% the labels come off them selves and floating, some sometimes might need just a little wipe down and all clean and shiny like new. But not Southern Tier bottles, the glue just wont come off without a lot of scrubbing, so I am done recycling them and will just take them back for my .05. Fat tire and SA bottles clean up easy among many other also, Ommegang not so good either.......................
Edit: Goose Island is not good at all on label pealing either but I like the beer.

Shorts are awful too. Not warer-based glue. SA simply float off.
I have over 9,000 posts on "another forum", which means absolutely nothing. Mr. Beer January 2014 Brewer of the Month with all the pomp and circumstance that comes with it...

Yep, that's one of the things I like about the Sam Adams bottles, how easy the labels come off. Oh and that my supervisor drinks a lot of them and passes the empties to me for recycling.
Anybody else on here a Breaking Bad Fan like me? I watched it for years but missed some and re-watched and now my wife got me the complete series on DVD for Christmas and am now working my way though it all again. Hank the BIL is a DEA agent, he was in a shoot out with a bad drug dealer and has nightmares about it, he is also a home brewer and had bottle bombs go off in the middle of the night and thought he was getting shot at again........ Walt the main character stopped in at a bar and ordered a fat tire on draft and I told my wife when watching it, look at that how nice that Fat tire looks.... Made me really want one right then.

I somehow missed breaking bad in its initial run, but started watching better call Saul. Then saw a BB marathon and set the tivo to record it. Binge watched the whole series.

Wow you binged the whole series? That's a lot of watching. I watched it from the beginning to the end but missed some in between and then caught the ones I missed. Now that I have the series on DVD and a nice way to watch BTW, I'm doing it again. Way better then waiting a week and Months, I watch a few episodes every few nights when nothing else is on I like to watch. I am up to the plane crash on this time around, it kinda sucks in a way that I know how is going to end, but I like watching it again and pick up on things I missed.................

That's kind of the way I did it. By binge, I just meant I watched it all in a relatively short time. Basically watched as the episodes came in.
My wife got me the whole series for Christmas DVD because she knew I liked it. But then AMC did a marathon on it and I DVR'd it too... before I opened my Present , I am re watching on the DVD now and is better

I did the AMC thing.
I also somehow missed parks and rec the first time around. Watched it on amazon prone prime until the last season (not on prime) and bit the DVD set for that season.
