WD40. Of course! Now lots of lovely label free bottles, and a good excuse to keep buying more <img src="http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/bb-plugins/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" /> Tony on "A Quid A Punk" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/a-quid-a-punk#post-2535 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 07:01:56 +0000 Tony 2535@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Those blokes at brewdog have invented the mother of all brew-glues. I tried hot water, white spirit, ethanol and acetone. In the end I did exactly what Greg said... :o) stuwilliams on "A Quid A Punk" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/a-quid-a-punk#post-2534 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:40:09 +0000 stuwilliams 2534@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ I think gregs hit the nail on the head. Twice <img src="http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/bb-plugins/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" /> Just be handy to be able to reuse something that's a reasonable price that tastes good. But that's the southerner in me... Don't even get me started on Barry Scott. dandan on "A Quid A Punk" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/a-quid-a-punk#post-2533 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:27:51 +0000 dandan 2533@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ I would keep them and fill them for the 'gifts' of beer you give people, they think you have given them beer, you know it hasn't made a big dint in your beer stock! or is that me being a tight up northener! lol! Greg on "A Quid A Punk" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/a-quid-a-punk#post-2530 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:18:49 +0000 Greg 2530@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Stick them in the recyling. Its not worth it. After a while you will end up with more bottles than you need so don't sweat it.

That is harsh stuff used by them Brewdog people if Barry Scott can't remove it.. Have you tried soaking it for 24hrs or over? Not sure whether that'd work but it's a suggestion. stuwilliams on "A Quid A Punk" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/a-quid-a-punk#post-2528 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:59:11 +0000 stuwilliams 2528@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Don't get me wrong, I can get the label off no problem. It's the flipping glue residue that's a killer. I could actually do with some to re-felt my shed. I've tried hot water, soaking in star San, then cillit bang, wrapping in foil and putting in the oven but nothing will soften it. The thought of having to get a stanley blade on 30 bottles is enough to drive me to drink. Actually, that's a good thing right? <img src="http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/bb-plugins/default/icon_wink.gif" title=";-)" class="bb_smilies" /> blackhatchetboy on "A Quid A Punk" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/a-quid-a-punk#post-2527 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:22:53 +0000 blackhatchetboy 2527@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ The labels aren't paper based so you don't have to soak them. Just pick a corner and peel the whole thing - usually come off in one.

BM ... no, couldn't get on with the meantime I'm afraid, all I could taste was cloves. I like the occasional wheat, but not this one I'm afraid. Still ... have to sample all of them... :o) stuwilliams on "A Quid A Punk" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/a-quid-a-punk#post-2525 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:29:40 +0000 stuwilliams 2525@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ So was hoping to reuse a few of these punk bottles, but my god those labels are something else. The glue is phenomonal. Anyone got a tip for getting em off? dandan on "A Quid A Punk" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/a-quid-a-punk#post-2430 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 00:26:52 +0000 dandan 2430@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ I know i've had the Meantime wheat before Asda sell it to but not as cheap as the sainsburys! I do like my wheat beers!! Neil on "A Quid A Punk" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/a-quid-a-punk#post-2429 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:15:56 +0000 Neil 2429@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Dandan... You'll not be disappointed with the Wheat. I will be popping back tomorrow to buy some more of that ready for the weekend. dandan on "A Quid A Punk" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/a-quid-a-punk#post-2428 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:08:30 +0000 dandan 2428@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ I've been and collected some Punk IPA and Meantime Wheat today!! Neil on "A Quid A Punk" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/a-quid-a-punk#post-2426 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:32:22 +0000 Neil 2426@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Tony, You mean you didn't like the Meantime? I thought it was lovely. I did buy some more ale today from my local real ale beer shop. Norfolk Square Brewery - Winklepicker god that stuff is good. Was almost tempted with their B52 as well. Not sure what is going on with my Sainsbury's but they seem to be out of stock constantly with Brewdog beers... Tony on "A Quid A Punk" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/a-quid-a-punk#post-2410 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 18:57:11 +0000 Tony 2410@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Nice to see you back Greg! Yes, that's a good point .. although all those IBUs packed into such a little space can't help but put a lump in your trousers. (Personally I put the bottles in the trolley but I know people who carry them in their pockets) :o) All those little IBU chappies were just what I needed to take the taste of the meantime away! :o) Greg on "A Quid A Punk" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/a-quid-a-punk#post-2409 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 18:39:08 +0000 Greg 2409@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Shame those Punk IPA's aren't big bottles as they are only 33cl which makes them quite expensive still really. Tony on "A Quid A Punk" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/a-quid-a-punk#post-2399 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 09:07:12 +0000 Tony 2399@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ I always do the shop - with the missus and the kids, but can't do it on my own as I don't drive :o) Fortunately the cereal isle is opposite the beer so I try to get as many in the trolly as possible while she's there. I work on the principle that if I get it to the check-out, I'm 90% of the way home. I tried some of that meantime wheat .... not for me I'm afraid. Just tasted of cloves. Bazza on "A Quid A Punk" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/a-quid-a-punk#post-2398 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 22:12:23 +0000 Bazza 2398@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ I don't know how this will work for you fellows, but for the last few weeks I've offered to do the weekly shop. It's a pain having to fight your way through Tesco with its hordes of people with a murderous look in their eye if you so much as glance at the one remaining tin of discount beans they've been trampling over the carcasses of the 'weaker' members of the Saturday shopping herd for. That horrible feeling of hoplessness that shakes your very bowels when you first look at the 'list' that stretches right back out of the store and half way down the dual carriageway. That list with its annoyingly neat handwriting. Why is it so neat? But out of all this horror is the little 5 minute oasis of 'me time' when you wheel your -what used to resemble a shopping trolley but is now just grotesquely shaped installation of metal and wheels groaning and buckling under the weight of 7 years' worth of mostly unnecessary nonsense apart from baby formula and brown sauce (HP not Tesco brand - my one contribution to the list)- up to the little section simply entitled 'Specialty ales'. Ahhhhh! Then you come home like a hero just make sure you disguise the telltale 'clink' of brown bottles with a comment along the lines of 'They were doing buy one get one half price on balsamic mustard French table dressing vinegarette'. Your missus thinks you're being adventurous and thrifty, and so attractively European. Long story short -> you offer to do the weekly shop, you deserve something from the 'sweetie counter'. Works for me. -Barry Nath on "A Quid A Punk" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/a-quid-a-punk#post-2396 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 20:54:27 +0000 Nath 2396@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Punkalicious. Unfortunatly im in the same boat as you tony, if I buy any beer at the moment I get the whole - "3 kegs and 40 bottles not enough for ya?" and thats it really. Cant really argue with that I spose. stuwilliams on "A Quid A Punk" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/a-quid-a-punk#post-2395 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 20:24:46 +0000 stuwilliams 2395@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ I stocked up last week <img src="http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/bb-plugins/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" /> managed 12 without raising alarm... Shame they don't do more from the range, least not in my local.

I've already slurped a few :o) Tony on "A Quid A Punk" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/a-quid-a-punk#post-2393 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 19:55:07 +0000 Tony 2393@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Just like it says on the can .. Sainsbury's are doing Punk at £1 a bottle. I would have bought a shed-load, but I could see the look in here eye. :o) Nice...
