NOTE: The two-stage biodiesel processes are advanced methods, not for
novices

This is exactly what I'm questioning. Is it the theory and chemistry of
biodiesel that a novice is to understand first before attempting the
two-stage process, or are the steps for two-stage so critical/dangerous
that novices should not attempt under any circumstances??

Hello Mark, welcome

Iâve been reading up about the Two-Stage Process for making biodiesel
and Iâm thinking of giving it a try, the question I have is how much
more difficult is it to do? Most of the stuff Iâve read states the
ãmore
advancedä homebrewers should try it. Other than no titration and
pouring
² of the catalyst in then draining the glycerin then adding the rest of
the catalyst. This doesnât sound difficult at all, in fact it sounds
easier since there is no need to titrate· So what am I missing??

The two-stage processes are not the place to start making biodiesel. 
It says right at the top of the page: NOTE: The two-stage biodiesel 
processes are advanced methods, not for novices -- learn the basics 
thoroughly first. The single-stage base method is the place to start. 
Start here.

Here being here - single stage, with new oil:
Where do I start?

Keith, I guess I fired off my reply to your answer a wee bit too
quick after reading the links to the discussion groups that you
attached I see that the basics is to get a feel of the process and see
the correct colors and textures using the process that has the best
chance of success, then use that as a baseline for future mini batches
using WVO. Then progress to larger scaled processing, then full scaled
process, and then finally graduate to the two-stage method, with
knowledge that the resultant biodiesel is clean and pure enough to run
through my beloved TDI.

Thanks
MarkieB
