If i was using the GL1 method. He says to drain the Glycerin before distilling the methanol from the biodiesel. So is their still methanol in the glycerin? If so, how would I distill the methanol from it? I plan on making some soap but don't want the methanol in it..

There are two methods of removing the methanol from the glycerine layer; by distilation using a simple condenser and then reuse it in a follow up batch or by boiling it off (do it outside and stand upwind as the fumes are toxic)

OK, As we are very new at this, a little laid back in OZ....
We have started to produce bio from used cooking oil which we have alot of access to within our business, we produce 150 ltr batches using KOH.
We use alot of degreaser within our business in liquid spray form to clean commercial rangehoods in kitchen's.
I am very interested in using the glycerine by-product for this purpose and would appreciate advice / suggestions on how to go about this.

Care to clarify that.
I do not offer "subscriptions".
I answered your question in the other thread you posted.

By subscribed I meant paid for the saop guide,

Check your public email account. Although I do not have your email listed as a buyer I've taken it on good faith that you did in fact buy it but for some reason did not receive it.
Now you have it.
If you sent a cheque by snail mail it did not get here.

Recieved this morning, many thanks, it was credit card payment by the way, thanks again,
Mike.
