I've read so much on the percentage of moisture content I've completely cofused myself :scratch:
Some say no more than 18% others anything under 19.5% but more than 14%. Some say as long as everything is capped. Spun six small fully capped frames and ended up with 19lbs of filtered honey. Tested the honey in the bucket with a refractometer and measured 19.25%. Being in the hills of WV with high humidity, and the frames were 100% capped, I assume the moisture content would be higher than, say, Utah
So I'm assuming the honey is ok to bottle. Anybody have some input for us here in Appalachia?
Thanks,
Mike
