In this exceptionally warm weather we are currently enjoying my honey is runnier than it would normally be.
Will this affect the reading on a refractometer, my guess is that as the refractometer is calibrated at 20C and with it being nearer 30 at the moment the reading would indicate a higher than actual water content as the honey is thinner and would have a lower refractive index?
Don't know, which is why I ask, anyone got a definitive answer?
