Hey, Been wanting to go bigger for awhile now, the chance came up so I bought this, about 3 weeks ago ,it took a week to get here(awesome!).
The unit came packed well, form fitting foam
it also came with a starter kit, not seen in pic about ten sheets of parchment paper,a silicone dab container tie dyed, one of the collection tools and two magnets. The users manual, must be ok because i got it working , it actually was bigger then a motherboard manual i just got, that was a pamphlet.
I have made 10 presses I bought 100 micron bags, which I am thinking are to small of mesh, I still see alot of leftover honey in the bags after pressing, think lesson 2 is to try like 120’s next.
Lesson 1 I learned right away was the temp, started around 220F on my indicator was using NL got a dark very gooey almost dry like.
Went down to 190F and i get like a oil, real pale yellow, that so far I personally enjoy better.
the unit itself is nice and also heavy weighs about 45-50 lbs I think. Its frame is thick steel. The bottle jack no leaks yet and i like the round knob on the relief valve. The pump handle is a solid bar of steel. there are separate controls for the top and bottom plate’s heat and a timer, the timer i like, harder to forget.
all tips and suggestions will be appreciated.
