my honey crystallized and I am trying to un crystallize it. I have my unit set at 100 deg. its been a week and the honey is still in the same state. how long does it take?
marty: the crystallization rate depends on a lot of factors like # of seed crystals, temperature, and moisture, but probably the most important is the floral source. Some honeys take a couple of years to crystallize, others take a couple of weeks.
In no.1 is the black thing the thermostat sensor ? It could be too near your heat source.
In no.1 is the top of the cabinet to the right or towards the camera ?
Is the crystallized honey in tubs, jars or comb ?
To help heat circulation I use a low setting hairdryer as my heat source. Besides a thermostat, I have a max/min thermometer in a remote corner of the cabinet as a checking device.
I know it's not the correct season to try the "stand the bottle in the sun" method, but you might want to try it when next summer comes around---if you still have any stocks of crystallized honey. :wink:
