Water % in honey
I filled two 30lb buckets with liquid honey yesterday. With the refractometer set at 71 Brix, the first lot was 19% water - so OK but the second bucket was 21.4%. How long do you think the 21.4% bucket will last before fermenting? Should I mix the two lots together before bottling it or just feed the 21.4% lot back to the bees. What other options do I have?

Dehumidifier and a cupboard might drop the water content brecks.
lm told it works best while the honey is still in the combs

Hi DR, thanks for your response. I have decided to feed it back and perhaps the same with my smelly OSR (earlier post).
