I«ve just completed my FIRST BD BATCH!!!! As small as it may seem, my test batch was as follows:
100 ml WVO 20 ml MeOH aprox 0,48 g NaOH (measured very unprecisely on a scale) Initial volume: 120 ml I mixed the MeOH+NaOH in a 250 ml Erlenmeyer, then poured it into a 150 ml beaker which contained the WVO (should have done it in inverse order)... mixed (not for long) while I heated it half of the time on the stove and the rest of the time on an electric cup warmer (which I know maintains a 250ml Erlenmeyer of water at 54 ¡C). RESULTS: My BD is settling in a 200 ml probe. Up to now, I can distinguish the pale-golden BD atop (aproximately 99 ml) and a brownish denser glycerine (about 11ml) at the bottom. The BD is translucent but still faintly murky (needs settling for at least 12 hs). Final Volume: 110 ml INCREDIBLE! Thanks Keith and all!
