Settling time ... How long to wait?

[Father Fox]

I mistakenly jarred up a batch of osr soft set honey too quickly, and am left with several jars with white froth on the top. I didn't want it to get too thick to jar. How long do people leave their extracted honey to settle before jarring up?

Only 24 hours for me, usually get froth on the last couple which are marked for my use!

My customers have no worries about a bit of froth on top - it's natural innit?

I think they find bee legs and the occasional head a little more off putting

Likewise this year , 24 hours, and as a good friend of mine comically remarked while I extolled the virtues of its cloudiness due to life saving pollen etc etc.

He retorted " You mean .... It's full of Bee Shite "

Let it stand for 24-36 hours at about 37oC, skim off the bubbles in the bucket using cling film, then bottle it.
