LC color change after PC?

I just got my 4 pint jars of honey out of the PC after 25 min at 15lb, and they're all a deeper orange than before. Is that normal, or could they have been cooked too much maybe?

Perfectly normal. I don't know why they do this, but they do. My malt extract/dextrose liquid cultures have the same characteristics.

I was thinking about using malt extract. But i went to kroger and meijer and all they had was the coffemate malt. Is this the shit or should i go to like O'malias. <---- a exotic grocier.

You want light malt extract, as in beer making malt. Home-brew stores are your best bet for this. I think I picked up a pound of light malt extract for $5.00. 50 liquid cultures later and I'm still sitting pretty.

While your at the beer making store maybe you should think about making your own beer... its really cool... you can make any kind of beer you want and you can control the alcohol content. doesnt cost much and tastes GREAT - if you dont fuck it up...

When browsing the beer brew place, also buy a bag of food grade calcium carbonate.

How could you tell if it's hit the point of carmelization?

I have agar's suggested LC jar that has 2 tubes filled with polyfill anytime its not in the Glove Box. So yea, the holes were made, sealed and left to dry all a good 24 hours before even mixing the honey. I just put foil on the tops before PCing.
