Hello all, I am hoping that you can maybe help explain what is going on to me. Thiss my first batch with WVO. I only got a 500ml batch but I will explan the steps I took. I took the titration (phenophalene) and cameut with 0.3ml of the 1% NaOH/Distilled water mixture. So I added the 0.3gusing a graduated Pipette (grade A)) to the 3.5g got 3.8g (I have a riple beam balance that I picked up at a pawn shop for $54) divided it by 2 and came up with 1.9g to add to my 100 ml of methanol. I aded my sodium methoxide mixture to the WVO. The seperation came ut great. However when it came to washing it (warm water), it looked rathe filthy. I have changed the water in it about 13 times and it is just now tarting to come out clear. The first few times I got a semisolid white resdue on the top. I am wondering what is causing this residue and what can do to make it cleaner to begin with. I might have gotten a bit of thelycerol in with the wash but not much.
