Congratulations from central Otago southern New Zealand on your first jarring of the year 👍 drying honey once its out of a frame is a menace.😬 Sorry i can't offer you any great sage post extracting suggestions, but, i would try drying some down to say 16 percent before you spin it. the easiest way is to put a box fan over a staggered set of supers with a dehumidifier running in a small sealed room before you extract because the frames give you a much larger drying surface area, but once it's out of the comb, it becomes difficult. If you extract dryer honey then blend that into your "wet" honey it should pull the overall moisture content down, im pretty sure i got that advice from American beekeeper Bob binnie who has a video about drying honey, watching that may help you 😬 only solution i can offer and i hope it helps. What is your honey by the way? I've got the opposite problem, my main honey crop is thyme honey and its as dry as a pub in the middle of the Sahara 😂 great video 👍👋
@@Lagness_Farms_Honey It went good thank you for asking, I received 80kg of honey that are currently in 20 liter buckets. I have ordered a honey refractometer to test the water percentage before I start jarring the honey.
@@Lagness_Farms_Honey The best way that I can think of to lower the water percentage of honey is to put it into your new honey house with a container that has a large service area and use a fan blowing over the service area to cause evacuation and then use a dehumidifier to take the humidity out of the air.

I found the Bob binnie video, he made it four years ago and it's called "fermented honey and moisture problems". I hope this helps 👋
3:17 My guess is that the bucket is 20 liters filled at 19 liters. Honey density is 1.425 on average.
19 x 1.425 = 27.075kg is my guess
Not far off at all well done! How did your extraction go?
