    Do any of you print labels for your beer? I want to make printable labels that can be removed from the bottles easily so I dont have to scrub adhesive off when done. Any recommendations?

    I just use printer paper and use spray adhesive on the back. Soak the bottles in warm water and the labels come off really easily.

    Laser or ink printer? Does it matter? also what kind of adhesive?

    I have a laser printer which probably does work better because inkjet might run more when wet. I just use Elmer’s craft spray adhesive – https://amzn.to/2SiluuO

    Have any of you used Grogtags? I haven’t tried them yet but they look pretty cool:

    I haven’t tried the Grogtags, but I have used these and they worked really well. They’re waterproof and peel off pretty easily. I used them with a laser printer, but it says it can be used for either laser or inkjet. https://amzn.to/38ZX4w1

    It sounds weird, but use a spray bottle with milk. Spray onto back of (preferably laser) printed labels. They stick to the bottles and when the milk dries the label is still stuck to the bottle really well. A quick few minute soak in warm water after use is enough to get them to slide easily off without leaving any glue.
