Can granulated honey ferment?
-
If there is enough moisture I don't see why not. Would it be any different than granulated sugar?
-
Hmmmmmm.
One of my last pails of honey I had tabbed at 19.5% so I set it aside to bring down the moisture level. I just went to work with it and it is as solid as a rock.
-
Well..... If it is solid as a rock, I would guess the moisture level is no longer 19.5%.
If you see no foaming or off coloring, which I doubt you do, or any foul smell I would say it is fine.
Would be interesting to heat it up to liquify and take a moisture reading :-\
-
like robo said perry, yes if the moisture content is high. also pop the lid off, does it smell funny?
-
No off smell at all. My basement is not exactly the warmest place in the house, and honey sets up fairly quickly down there. I agree with robo, it will be interesting to do a moisture level reading when I go to re-liquefy it.
-
yes, i would be curious about the moisture level as well.
last year i set aside about a half bucket that i thought was too high in moisture content. i store them in the garage, they freeze. i pulled that bucket later to re-liquefy, before i heated it up, i popped the lid..........eewwww! it had fermented.
