I'm ready to cream my OSR honey. I'm going to warm the set 30lb buckets and then use a drill attachment to get a decent creamed honey (well that's the plan).

Any recommendations for a suitable 750w corded drill please? I have a decent cordless drill and would probably only ever use a corded drill to process honey so just need a drill to do that.
Any experience with the B&Q/Homebase etc basic corded drills for this purpose? Or do I need to bite the bullet and get a decent drill?
 
Hmm...

Ya need to have the honey clear before adding the seed. If that don't make sense then shout and we can go through the whole procedure.

I thought there were two ways of producing creamed honey:

- start with warmed clear honey and add a seed honey (at ~10% mass of total) that has the desired small crystal size qualities.

or:

- slightly warm set honey and then cream it to disrupt the existing crystals that stops them from returning back to a like-concrete state.
This method is described well here: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gandboss/OldSite/BeeStuff/KissOSR/Kiss_OSR.htm

I was going to try the 2nd method.
