  • Label Peelers is discounting their entire store with some exceptions by 42% to 70%.  Label Peelers reserves the right to discontinue this sale at any time.
  • Label Peelers says… “*Products with an enforced Minimum Advertised Price (M.A.P.) are not included in this sale, but if you’re smart you’ll put them in your cart to see what we are offering them for privately. You will be pleased. :)”
  • No coupon code is needed.  Check LP for current availability.
  • This sale makes three lb bags of Munton’s Light Dried Malt Extract just $8.34.  That figures to about $2.78 per lb.
  • Shipping is an additional cost based on your location.  Because of minimum shipping costs, it may make sense to place a larger order.  Additional items may ship for minimal cost.  Example: Shipping (for me) for 1 lb of Citra is $8.93.  2 lbs cost $9.18 to ship.  That second pound costs just 25 cents to ship.  That’s minimum shipping at work.

These are not waterproof. Along those lines, I wouldn’t suggest that you stick your hand in hot wort with one of these on. Or, without one of these on for that matter. I guess the take away here is… don’t stick your hand in hot wort. 🙂
