I would say to let it settle for an hour or so after processing, and then drain the glycerol. Naoh drops the soaps way faster than KOH does, so there's no need for overnight settling. Even with the 5% prewash, I wouldn't let Naoh glycerol sit in the plumbing overnight. Depending upon your overnight temps, it could still solidify.
