Keeping honey from crystalizing

[randydrivesabus]

we jarred the honey we got out of the mediums that were on the now dead hives. About 30 lbs. I remember reading that the crystalizing temperature is in the 50's...is that right? any ideas how to keep the honey from crystalizing? I should mention that we don't run our heat at night unless the temperature is in the teens or less and its windy out. So I don't doubt that the temperature in our house gets down to the 50's by morning. then when I get up in the morning I fire up the woodstove. So if the crystalizing does occur in the 50's maybe I should keep it in my germination cabinet, which is an old refrigerator with a light bulb in it and a thermostat.

I store a lot of honey and have come to the fact that i am better off if the honey dose crystallize -reason being is if it is crystallized it will not ferment -of course you know different honey candies at different rates -i think the temp range you are referring to is 52-57 farinhite-  RDY-B

It all crystallizes eventually.

It's a matter of temperature, particles to act as seed, the kinds of sugars in the honey and if you've heated it enough to get rid of the existing crystals.

I just help it along and sell it as creamed honey.

Delicious stuff that crystalized honey. I would make sure it is in a wide mouth jar you can get a spoon into to scoop it out.
