Thus honey will change in moisture content according to the surrounding atmosphere. This characteristic is important in storing honey because it will absorb water when exposed to high relative humidity (RH) and will give off water when exposed to low RH, until an equilibrium point is reached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh moisture honey will ferment. This is caused by the presence of several yeast species which, as they multiply in the absence of air, produce alcohol. The alcohol may break down to acetic acid (vinegar) and water, giving the honey a distinctly sour or \"off\" taste and a runny texture with small bubbles, surface heaving or foaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMead Makers:  Check out our BREWfractometer for using your finished honey to make Mead!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you detect that your honey has a high water content, there are methods used to \"dry\" out your honey to preserve it.  Ask us how!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModels with the “ATC” suffix are equipped with “Automatic Temperature Compensation” for accurate measurements without re calibration after shifts in ambient working temperature (field use).
