I need to fill a big order for creamed honey for a farm that is opening the end of August.

I made the creamed honey today and poured it into the tubs. However.... a few things concern me.

It is hot here.... around 80 degrees (thats hot for here). The house is hot, the garage is hot.... it is hot.

I have no clue where I should store the creamed honey. I know it needs temps in the 50's but I have no clue where to put it.

Should I keep it in the referigerator?

Any advice or suggestions?????

(I did use the 1 pound of seed to 10 pounds of honey. I would have increased the seed for faster development of the crystals but I did not have a lot of seed. )

Once creamed honey has gotten hot, it tends to seperate If it seperates, it must be "recreamed" . I agree about storage @ a cool temp. I don't know how much you need to store, but in my location I believe you and rent referigerated space if you dont have room. Very cool temps wont hurt unless product is in glass.

The refrigerator is the ticket. I have an old refrigerator in my honey house just for creamed honey (and some beer).

do you keep it at reguler temps which is in the 40's?

Once it's creamed, anything from frozen to room temps seems to work fine. Warmer than that and it will melt some and not keep it's firmness.
