Well, My first Dr. Pepper method batch was a horrible failure, haha

One of the jugs I picked up at jimbos was a oddball smaller container of peanut oil (others were soy oil). This oil looked to be unused, so I used it for the test batch. What I got was about 2" of bio and about 1 liter of soap sludge..
(I'm thinking that just the fact that was old / sat outside /absorbed moisture possibly made it more acidic)


For the 2nd test, i picked up some virgin canola oil, and from what I've seen so far, it looks to have worked better.. I won't know until the morning when I can get back down to the shop and see what settled out.

I got some pics of the failed batch, and I'll get some of the (hopefully) successful batch in the morning

Happy Easter everybody
