Whew! I was afraid it was going to come out terrible after all that waiting.

Nice! Planning on starting a batch by the end of the month.

Has anyone ever tried the warm water + amonia soak to remove glued on labels on bottles? Or do you know of a better way?

Haven't tried that method... but lighter fluid works at getting labels off of other stuff, can't see why it wouldn't work on bottles.

I use hot water and Oxy-Clean powder. It takes too much rinsing to get rid of the ammonia smell.

I also drink Sierra Nevada in the 24 oz bottles, because it cuts my bottling time in half (and because I like it).
