Well, I have FINALLY completed my "open barrel" BD processor with a LOT of help from Fabman. Before going great guns with a full batch, I am going to make a 5 gal batch in a small drum with a paint mixer and drill motor.
My question is, I did a titration on the WVO I got from a friend's restaurant. The results were as follows. It titrated to 2ml of KOH/H2O which equates to 2 extra grams of KOH per liter of WVO in addition to the base 7 grams per liter. This means if I use 9 grams of KOH per liter I should be OK. Of course I am still going to abide by Don's suggestion of watching for the mix to turn "tar black or else add more KOH. Do I have this right? If all goes well, I will run a full batch and also post pics of my portable (trailer mount) BD processor. Tom
