Keep it in an airtight vessel with only enough head space for thermal
expansion and contraction and it will be sufficient beyond this time
next year. More probably well beyond that. At least long enough for the
fallout to settle, a season's worth of rains to soak it in and you to
plant another crop so you can do whatever it is that you feel you must
do that can't be done without an infernal combustion engine.
Spec it to10 microns filtration and be happy. After that, it's not the
sediment that will grab you by the short and curlies but the saturated
esters (from animal fats and hydrogenated oils. Depending upon the
parent stock, your filter could be throttled by "B-100" at temps as high
as 40*F.
Last time we rendered deer tallow and made biodiesel from it we were
stonewalled after an overnight temp of 56*F.

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
