Can I get by with 24 hour settle?

YUP. That's how long I settle mine.

What do you guys run? B50, B100?? How low of a temperature can I get away with running B50? This morning the temp was sitting at 15. This is sort of out of the ordinary for my area but curious as to how much I can push the limit. In the past I set a jar outside in the mid 20's and noticed by B50 was cloudy but still very flowable. In the teens I have not check it (mainly cause it rarely gets in the teens). Little scared to run it when its that cold. What are your experiences. Thanks Maxx

Here's the only way to tell for sure. Rarely gets into the teens here, but it will on occasion. This pic is at 28F.

A lot depends on the raw oil that was used. Hydrogenated oils will jell at a higher temp than non-hydrogenated oils, and Soy based bio has a higher jell temp that Canola.

My bio is Canola based, non-hydrogenated, and is good to 0 deg at B-50.
