Sure,

well theres three types of labels, printed cans( cant do anything with )

Wraps ( plastic that has a seam) you can cut these but you have to cut the seam and then snip the top and bottom ring area then it will flatten.

Adhesive labels. ( these work best)

I try to use the edge of an xacto knife or even a fingernail on a part of the label that i know ill maybe trim a hair off of anyway , so that it hides any crinkling.

there are a few companies that its just impossible to get the labels off of, some bottles like Founders, or cans like aslin, dont work well , usually bigger bottles work good though. Prairie works great. I recommend these magnet sheets,

and i use xacto knives and a craft mat like this one, https://www.amazon.com/Alvin-Professional-Self-Healing-Cutting-GBM1218/dp/B0015AOIYI/ref=sr_1_4?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1525196109&sr=1-4&keywords=craft%2Bcutting%2Bmat&dpID=51gR%252BOrM3WL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1

so you dont cut through it to the table youre on etc, the key to making your cuts nice and clean is putting a good amount of pressure during your cut and cutting fairly slowly.

use a straight edge, use metal rulers, plan out the size of the label, peel it off the can or bottle and affix it adhesive side down on the adhesive side of the magnetic backing. then just square off your edges with cuts and bingo instant fridge magnet.


You can also do it with brewery stickers as well.

Homebrew is a 1 gallon version of the Saison Dupont recipe from this book.

The Foolproof is from a new local brewery started by a friend of a friend. They currently only have distribution in RI and MA, but the brewmaster there has been around for a while at a few places and makes some great beers. The Collette and Hennepin are great as well. Haven't yet tried the Stillwater Cellar Door.

Do yourself a favor and pick up a wine fridge like [this] (http://www.amazon.com/NewAir-AW-180E-Bottle-Thermoelectric-Cooler/dp/B001DEQJXE/ref=sr_1_12?s=appliances&ie=UTF8&qid=1370439140&sr=1-12&keywords=wine+cooler). The temp controls make it perfect for aging things, and since you have a dedicated space for beer, you won't take up as much room.

There's a great children's book entitled Duck! Rabbit! that cracks me up every time I see it: http://www.amazon.com/Duck-Rabbit-Amy-Krouse-Rosenthal/dp/0811868656/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411607744&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=duck+rbit

Follow up: I tried using a normal can opener like /u/BrewerMan mentioned and it works great! No need to buy this device, guys.

The can opener I have sells for $14 on Amazon as of now: https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Can-Opener/dp/B00004OCJW/

Some kind of neoprene sleeve. Of course it would be cylindrical, open at the bottom and top, tapered towards the top and a slit for the handle. Keep it cool and protected.

Kind of like this, but going up to the lid.

My wife and I use the Wisconsin Best Beer Guide by Kevin Revolinski as our bible to all these locations. It's way out of date now though. (hint hint)

Here is a link to my cellar. This set up cost me $145 and I can easily transfer the accessories to a larger fridge when I get one.

• Mini fridge - $30 (found on craigslist)
  
• Temperature controller - $61
  
• Dehumidifer - $24
  
• Fan - $10
  
• Thermometers - $10

My fiance and I recently took a trip to Brussels/Paris. And when in Paris we did a tour of the champagne region. Those were the glasses that all the champagne houses used. So we ordered some, if you're interested

get her one of These and a few of the stoppers if you dont have one already. Your wine will last a lot longer and taste better if she doesnt finish it right away.

Thanks!

Overall, it took three of these: http://www.amazon.com/Environmental-Tech-EnviroTex-Pour-On-Finish/dp/B001E1TQM2/ref=pd_sim_hg_3

I think what helped us the most was mixing it with a power drill, doing it in three thin layers, forcing out the bubbles with a heat gun, and letting each layer dry over the course of a week or so before adding the next.

• I purchased http://www.amazon.com/Buddy-Christ-Statue-Dashboard-Driver/dp/B000AP5974/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1345173521&sr=8-2&keywords=buddy+jesus but I think it was about $7 when I purchased it.
  
• Then I got a table leg from lowes and stained it with a nice mahogany stain I had lying around (same stain as the kegerator wood).
  
• Drilled a hole in the bottom of jesus and used gorilla glue to hold it in place.
  
• Drilled a hole in the table leg and used (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026GZU0Q/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00) from amazon for the tap handle thread.
  
  Did a similar process for the lightsaber tap handles.

Buy a cheap used chest freezer for cheap off of craigslist (many for sale usually): ~$50-100

Buy a temperature controller off of Amazon: $49

http://www.amazon.com/Johnson-Controls-A19AAT-2C-Temperature-Controller/dp/B0002EAL58

Throw in the probe, set the temperature, plug them in, and then fill with beer when you notice it working. Problem solved, possibly under $100.

I use this: http://www.amazon.com/Samuel-Adams-Pefect-Bottle-Opener/dp/B007M4IZQS

Another idea (to avoid scratching fridge) is to paint a wall with magnetic paint and then paint over it so it blends in.

It's meant for wine but I've used it on beers before. It sucks out as much air as possible.

No arrests despite open container laws in Charleston, SC - we were shooting the cover of this book which was just recently published.
