Ken,
I normally heat the
settled BD to about 125F to dry it. When I do this to whispy
batch the whispy stuff seems to clump and then rise to the surface in small
globs.

what's the wispy stuff?
It's esters of stearic, palmitic, and other saturated fatty acids
precipitating out of solution. Try warming the spheres slightly
and see if they melt. Biodiesel made from tallow does this
unless kept reasonably warm (summertime temperatures).
