jtcmedic, I too have been struggling with excessive moisture in capped honey. I've had several small batches this summer (1-2 gallons each) come out higher than expected (18.8%, 19.2%, 19.6% & 20.2%). I see you're in Florida and I'm in Hawaii--both states with high humidity. I wonder in this is playing a role in this since honey is hygroscopic and can absorb moisture straight from the air? I live in a rainforest and my humidity is always between 70%-99%.
