Stopping honey crystallization
« on: November 26, 2017, 09:54:20 am »
I am wondering what temperature is ideal for reversing and stopping crystallization of honey?
I have built a hot box (I will post more on this later) and it heats the bucket of honey to 93 degrees, which is enough to liquefy badly crystallized honey.  Is that enough to prevent further crystallization?

I don't know that you can ever "stop" granulation, even if you re-liquefy granulated honey it will eventually granulate again. I run mine up to 100 F, something I believe you would find in the hive on a hot day.
