Harvested honey yesterday - geeez what a mess. Extractors, buckets, screens, bottles, clogged screens\colenders. I looked on as the mess accumulated and somewhere in the process had an epiphany. An inexpensive trick us moonshiners use to separate grain from wort. Went to Lowes and purchased a nylon paint strainer bag - $1.98. Fits perfectly in a five gallon bucket and is secured with an elastic band. Poured the honey in straight from the extractor. When it was full I removed the bag with all its impurities, due to the super fine mesh the honey was super clean. It worked so well I poured the stuff from the cappings tank into the last bucket. Honey came out clean and the wax remaining in the bag I soaked in some warm water, and I scored the best, cleanest wax harvest yet. Now for the best trick, the bags are reuasable - they wash clean and dry quickly. I took the first jar over to the inlaws to be scutinized over - it passed the test. :-D
Soooo, Does anyone have any tricks for getting honey off the kitchen floor, other than multiple scrubbings? :-P
