Can honey be left in an aluminium extractor? I'm out of storage space and not ready to jar them yet.
... I wouldn't know what to do if it granulates in a plastic bucket either. ...
... I thought the extractor tap would be great for jarring the honey, not so?
Right, this is my first year extracting, so I wouldn't know what to do if it granulates in a plastic bucket either. As well as having no alternative storage right at this minute ...
Thanks everyone. There's about three and a half supers worth of honey, I've done the double filter thing, but was wondering whether a final pass through cheese cloth (or tights) would still be worthwhile. Anyway, thanks again.
Not if they have been worn..and there may be colouring agents in the nylon. and anyway, shouldn't be necessary.
A thick sieve with a finer sieve underneath .. works fine for me.. up to honey competition standard.
I got the Cheapy Kit from big T which has a paired set of sieves I believe they are sold separately as well. but then I wanted to refine further and used a fine tea strainer. Could only do a very slow stream so Painted my for sale sign while filtering the first lot. Hunted high and low for a fine mesh strainer to fit inside my Kilner jar funnel but all sieves were unbalanced with a handle. Yesterday I found a very large teapot tea holder with v fine mesh for leaf tea so I am going to try that and will let you know how I get on.
