Magnesol = Failed Shake test
Not sure what im doing wrong here. I have 35 gal of sorta unmethed bio. I let the meth boil off for about 2 hrs. im not to sure how to tell if i get all the methanol off
But right now i have a drill connected to a concrete stirrer for buckets. its in my cone 55gal processor. i turn the drill on and add 1lbs of magnesol at a time, for me i did 6 lbs of magnesol. figured it was unmethed becuase i didnt know how much meth i actually removed.
every time i do a shake test when im done and it fails. cloudy water, milky bio. what am i doing wronge? it passes the 3/27 test perfectly. this seems to be the only thing holding me up.

Phil, from what I have gathered thus far, while I believe you have all the steps right, there are a few things within each of those steps that need fine tuning in your process. Magnesol, as great as it seems to be, is not going to be a fix-all. The reaction and conversion need to be right before it can do its thing.
