I tried removable dots on my PET bottles, writing the batch code on each. But I found they started to lift and fall off after a while. Now I use a chinagraph (white pencil) which is easily erased using an ink rubber when it comes time to bottle again.

Wow, chinagraph pencils, that's taking me back. I didn't realise they still made them, sounds like a good idea though.

I use black marker pen on my clear bottles and use a white-out pen on the black caps of my Coopers bottles.

Frankly, I haven't been doing this long enough to tell you all of the pros and cons.

I've been contemplating using little tags (a piece of manilla card with a hole and hole reinforcer) for gifts and Grolsch bottles, but it is too expensive to do it to hundreds or thousands of bottles.

Perhaps water-proof barcodes or RFID tags? Imagine being able to swipe a bottle with a hand-held dingus and have it tell you the contents... *drool*

yeah, and a robot that asks you what kind of beer you would like it to brew
and then compliments you on your exceptional taste in ingredients and timing...
