Thanks Tom and Keith for your responses. Have you not gotten complete
reactions on 1L test batches run at 130F (or higher) in a blender for 20 -
30 minutes? You are using new, unused veg

of methanol. It starts to evaporate at much lower temperatures than that.

Hey Mike. I'm a novice too but, for what it's worth, in my first 10
test batches in a blender I have gotten a pretty substantial
temperature increase during mixing - between 10F and 20F increase
depending on how long

That's the boiling point
Thanks Jim, that is very helpful and I'll be sure to monitor my temps
closely as I blend. I thought maybe there was a chance that it would
hold the same temp for that reason, but would never have guessed a temp
increase.

I was just gonna take it out of digest mode and have everything from

that's basically what the link is saying to do, so thanks

Hey
a different methanol supply to see if that improves results.

I've been reading the j2f howto for doing my first test batch with

Mike,
Test batches can be difficult .. well worth the effort.
Blenders provide excellent agitation, but it is difficult to maintain
the proper temp.
PET bottles allow one to maintain temp better
I do my test batches in a pot on a coleman stove out in the garage so I
can maintain the temp.

I think (but I'm not sure) that methanol will evaporate at 140, is that
correct? If it is, then keeping the temp below that would become very
important too
