Overcharged beads?

Hey guys,

Just set up my wine-a-dor today. However, instead of gently spraying the heartfelt beads (70%RH), I practically gave them the 'girls gone wild' treatment, and just got them really wet.

With that said, my hydrometer is reading 75% RH. Is there any special method of drying out the beads, so I can remove the excess humidity?

Right now, I just covered the mesh bag they're in with paper towels, so I'll see how it works in a couple of hours!

Thanks!

    Hairdryer would work fine... or depending on your ambient humidity where you live, just leave 'em out for a day or twp

    On top of a vent running your A/C or heat (depending on what part of the country that you are in) works as well.

    i agree with this one. works well.


    if you dont wanna turn on vents or what not, just wrap them up in a wad of newspaper. that stuff is crazy absorbent

    I think the instructions that come with them (at least mine did) say something about a not too hot oven?

    If it was from Thompson it along with their cigars would be as dry as the Arizona desert!
