I'm sure this is off-topic but I'd love to know how to make biodiesel the
way your SIL makes it. Can you share (or have him share)?

My son in law made biodiesel by mixing lye with fat.  It produced both the
biodiesel as well as glycerin.  Now it is my understanding that soap is made
the same way.  Does anyone know why some people end up with biodiesel and
others soap when those two are mixed?

I don't think the soap manufacturers will list glycerin as an ingredient if
they did not add it while making the soap.  The glycerin is naturally
created when fat is mixed with the lye/water.

So if you buy  a soap without glycerin in the list of ingredients, it can
still have it.  Comments please.
