Extracted a few supers today, last year when i did it i had a smaller extractor and only about 18lb of honey.
This time around i have a larger extractor and a much larger amount of honey, when draining the honey from the extractor into holding containers, i only used a conical filter, just to get rid of the large debris, but this time i noitced a fair bot of white froth, some of which i caught in the filter, some got through into the containers.
Are they air bubbles ?
How long do you usually let the honey sit for ?
What i was going to do was leave it overnight, then early evening tomorrow strain it again through much finer filters into another container, before filling the honey jars.
Would you leave it for a further 24 hours after my next filter, before putting into jars. ?
