I'm proposing a new section for this web site,"How I Make Biodiesel". A place where you, the experienced homebrewer, have the chance to relate your experience to the beginner.  The idea is that you tell your biodiesel story. We'll give you any help you need to get your experiences across.

The best way to do this is to break it up into steps. In each step you will write at least a paragraph explaining your system. We will break this into four steps:

1) Oil collections
How do you collect your oil?
Who do you collect your oil from?
Anything you feel is important about your oil collections

2) Oil preperations
What do you do to your oil, if anything, after you bring it home and before you load it into the processor?

3) Processing into biodiesel
Describe your processor. Describe your recipe and processing methods.

4) Washing or purifying your biodiesel
Describe how you refine your raw biodiesel into a finshed product. Do you water wash? how? do you dry wash? how?

5) Storing and Using your biodiesel
Once you have finished your biodiesel, what do you do with it? does it go straight from processor to vehicle, or thorugh a storage tank?


The more details and pictures you can provide at each step, the easier it will be for the beginner will be able to learn from you. In the end, that's what this site is all about. Learning how to make biodiesel.
