Hello George and All,
I saved this post to respond to but i didn't think would be a month
later.  Sorry!  Many beekeepers (myself included) have went to plastic
cups because creamed honey in glass jars wants to pull away from the
side. The creamed honey allways sells better in the glass jars until it
starts pulling away from the sides.  I have got a machine which will
spin 40 gallons at a time and follow the *Dyce method* to the letter.  I
have been told that if you use a honey with a 19 to 19.5% moisture
content the creamed honey will not pull from the jar sides.  Have you
ever had the creamed honey pulling from the jar sides problem?  I have
read articles from overseas where much creamed honey is made and they
use the same process i do. Any solution for the jar side problem Bee-L
people?
Bob
