Re: [Biofuel] Weed seeds and manure piles

Walker, My layered compost piles w/o the glycerine "supplement" were consistently 140 - 145F. This is sufficient to kill weed seeds, plant pathogens, and the eggs and larvae of insect pests. I don't know that typical manure piles achieve this temp. Manure piles on farms tend to be just that

Re: [Biofuel] Weed seeds and manure piles

A properly maintained and aerated compost pile will maintain a temperature of about 160F. That's more than enough to kill weed seeds. Walker (Ben W. Gardner) Sedona, Az In The Beginning - ISBN: 1-4116-3848-4 Just In Time - ISBN 1-4116-3851-4 _

Hello All, I use KOH as my caustic. I add a small amount of phosphoric acid (~1ml per L of WVO that was reacted) in my first wash. Last year I experimented composting glycerin. Some of my compost piles got glycerine split from the cocktail while others got unsplit glycerin. For both I

Hello to All, It is my impression that a thicker than "paper thin" middle layer in the wash test may not indicate an incomplete reaction, but rather excess soap production. This may be due to high FFA content in the WVO oil, water in the oil, water in the caustic, or in the methanol. It ma

Matt I made a dodgey brew last year which did a similar thing when washed.  A biochemist friend suggested just throwing more water at it.   I forget the reasoning. I ended up taking 100 litres and mixing it with 400 litres of water.  Got a separation and from then it was back to normal washing
