I'll try the sideways trick, first I'd heard that. Good tip. If you have freezer space I store the uts in jars in the freezer and only fill with liquid as I need them. Not very popular in NE Indiana.
Thanks for sharing your ideas Gus. Planting some trees such as Robinia pseudoacacia (Black locust) whose nectar produce non-crysralizable honey will let the bees mix this nectar with nectar of other trees near the apiary. This will slow down the crystalization rate of the produced honey.
Thanks for the tip, wish I would have known that tip of turning the jars on their side before. Enjoy the videos on all the helpful lesson you bring to your videos.
Hello Gus I just got my warming box fixed well a small one that I can use till next season. I have the metal to build my bigger one that I will work on this winter. Your controls that you told us about in a video ( I got the same ones ) they work GREAT . THANKS. My question is what watt bulbs do you use on your hot box . As always thanks for all your time an great help you give us . THANKS
@@gusmitchellcranesnesthoney6529 Thanks very much ya that is what I thought you said . This is a great control center. Hope you have a great weekend. Thanks
Maybe you have shown this, but can you tell us more about your warming cabinet? Did you make it? How hot does it get? How hot is two hot. One method i read but haven't tried is put the jars in the top rack of the dishwasher and run on delicate cycle to decrystallize???
Hi Gus, I greatly enjoy your no nonsense style. I thought you might be a good person to ask about honey container preparation for filling, as the stack of containers reminded me of that question. The internet is full of people washing and heat sanitizing brand new jars before filling them with honey. Unless I have missed something I believe some honey packers just have compressed air jet into the jar to remove any debris from shipping and packing.. Maybe those are prepared or washed after manufacture before shipping differently than what is available to individual or smaller consumers? I Realize raw honey has anticeptic properties on its own, so I would be more concerned with chemical and flavor and aroma contamination than bacterial or fungal. Anyways I'd love to hear your thoughts.
From the manufacturer you should have no problem. How they’re stored before filling could create an issue. If in doubt it’s always better safe than sorry. You can sell 1000 perfect jars but that one with something extra in it you will never hear the end of.
Thanks for these tips Gus. I totally would have thought I could get away with decrystallizing upright. Good to know to keep it on it's side.
Thanks, Gus. I learn so much from your videos. 👍
Glad to hear that!
Thanks Gus, you should do an interview with your mentor if he's up for it. Glad to see you seem over the flu! :)
I’ve tried but usually things turn to work around him 😆 He doesn’t think much on phones and RUclips.
Thanks for the tips Gus
Dang. Best video yet! Very beneficial! Thanks!

Good tip, laying the honey on it's side. Thanks for sharing.

Good stuff Gus. Seems like if you want to do comb honey really well you need a lot of freezer space.
It helps
Great to know if I ever get anyone that wants chunk honey, thank Robert Hodum too .
Thanks!
Great Tips, especially since I was thinking of making a few jars next season per customer request.

haha ok thanks Gus
Thanks buddy for sharing.. At what temperature are you running for your warmer?

Where do you source those boxes from? Do they have dividers n them?
Arkansas glass, that’s how the jars come, in the boxes.
Any problem with high Beatles or do you freeze it ahead of time
I always freeze
Hi friend can you let me know where I can get the 16 oz empty jar you have in your video thanks
