Unfortunately I have quite a bit of honey.. about 60 litres that has candied.
What I would like to know is, is there a way (the easier the better) of re-liquifying it.. what gear would I need?

I use black buckets set in the sun for a day or two.

I put the buckets in the attic. Warms up nice there on warmer days.
I like the attic idea. But boy howdy are you going to have trouble if you drop it while carring it up the ladder or it falls over/leaks up there. I put individual bears and jars on the dashboard of my car with great results. During winter when the temp stays low though I got a chest freezer (free off Craigs List), a thermostat, and a couple light sockets and bulbs. http://www.honeyrunapiaries.com/16.39.0.0.1.0.phtml. (http://www.honeyrunapiaries.com/16.39.0.0.1.0.phtml.) The thermostat was by far the most expensive ($60) but if you've got the space it's really nice to have.
What temperature do you set the thermostat for?

With the attic, I have full steps going up stairs with a bonus room to the left and full open attic to the right at the top. :-D
It does work good on the honey.
80 degrees F with move crystallized honey for bottling. 120 degrees F will liquefy it.
I put a couple of 1kg glass jars into a black tub yesterday that I use to recover my comb in. Glass on top and by the end of the day I had 7/8 of the jars nicely liquid, the rest partially crystalised on the bottom. When the sun comes out again I will repeat the process to see if I can clarify the rest
