I made a 35 gal batch 2 weeks ago. It was amber colored and cloudy and failed 3/27. I titrated again and got .02 titration twice. I reprocessed and passed 3/27 but still cloudy and amber colored. I poured about 1 gal. into an open top 15 gal container. Over night it seperated into a very thin amber layer (glycerin I assume), a white emulsion (very small amount), and crystal clear light yellow bio.

I thought that being in the open top container allowed any remaining methanol to evaporate off, dropped the remaining glycerin, probably picked up a little moisture from the atmosphere or possibly some water from rinsing the tank out, and left pure Bio.

I transfered the remainder to a large open top drum and let it set for several days. There has been no change in color and it is still very cloudy. I probably can't see 2" down into the Bio. Tonight I ran it through a 10 micron filter. It also did not change color or cloudiness. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks in advance, CC
