How do you get the label of the vial?
To me it seems like they used dagnabit glue.
I sanitize my vials and reuse them, since they take up a limited amount of spce, versus af full rack of test tubes.... yeeesssss, the missus isn't all that happy, sp i might be able to squeeze another fridge out of her... here's hoping :)

Figured I'd bring this thread back.
What do you guys do with the vials. We know "i forgot my name" wans the labels for free stuff/gear. But im talkin plastic parts.

Since my hops come in 1-4 oz packages, and I often have half-3/4 oz leftover, i found they work great for storing the unsused hops. Fill em up, cap and throw in the freezer. I know you knuckle heads got something more ingenious for them.

I went with no pants. I have my first White Labs vial in the fridge now. I like the idea of using it to re-pitch small volumes of yeast cake.

I hate those fucking smack packs.

I use a few of my vials for taking coffee grounds to work with me. 2 vials = one pot coffee.

I also made the keggerator thing of mfischer2's check this thread...

Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.
