Hello Ian,
if treated with anti-oxidizing agents, and produced from oil with a moderate peroxide number, the biodiesel should be consumed within three months.
10 microns is a normal filter size for diesel engines, unless equipped with a common-rail system. So, filtering at 10 microns is good, 5 microns even better assuming that the biodiesel has an abnormal content of solids which will lead to filter clogging very rapidly. Pay attention to the markings "absolute" and "nominal" on the filter spec. There is a huge difference between those two.
The biodiesel should be ready for instant consumption if it´s clear and bright and without sediments.
With best regards

Does anyone tell me how long Biodiesel will keep after production.
Can someone clarify the final filter process after production. Some say 5 microns some say 10. Mike pelly's recipe dosn't seem to say anything about it? And how long should it stand or can you pour it straight in?
Cheers Ian
