That is a great idea. I just happen to have already built something that you've described, just haven't glued the lid down. I haven't been finding a use for it since I got the heating fridge, since unfortunately, it's too tall to fit in there, but that sounds like a good way of going about this. I was once experimenting with paint strainers but abandoned them as I had issues with the honey getting clogged and not going through, but that was before I had an ability to actually warm the honey up beforehand.
Are there much people who actually want to be crystallised honey?
Why wouldn't you do that Michael? What would you do?
I've been leaving my honey in my heating fridge at no more than 100, it's been sitting there for a week as I've been stirring this big clump of honeywax, trying to strain it, it going through very slowly. I am concerned that, with my method, leaving it in a 100 f room constantly would be damaging the honey, I'm not sure if I should lower it. Whenever I do turn it off for a day or two, it quickly turns back to crystal. I'm a bit lost as what to do, I have a lot of this to process and it's difficult to get much of the honey out of the wax, feels like a waste. My uncle, who's been using this method also, is adamant on buying a press to squeeze out and squish all the wax and honey, I've told him we'll just get an extractor instead but he's insistent on it for whatever reason. It's difficult enough to strain it even with the heat. Has me thinking that I really should get a honey extractor, crush and straining seems to really struggle on a larger scale.
