This class covers the basics of producing biodiesel, quality control
and testing, and equipment design.
This class is discussion-based, as well as hands-on- so bring your questions.
Although the class assumes no prior experience, experienced producers
have also found this class useful. The class is a combination of
lecture and have hands-on 'lab' sessions where you will practice
titrating oil, making test batches, making mistakes intentionally and
learning from them, testing the biodiesel, washing the biodiesel in
test batches, and testing oil. We will discuss some advanced topics
depending on interest- "waterless washing", ethanol-based biodiesel,
glycerine processing, and high-FFA oil.

Homebrew Guide, a manual on biodiesel production (http://localb100.com),
the founder of the community-written biodiesel homebrewing tutorial
site www.biodieselcommunity.org and is the inventor of the Appleseed
Processor, an 'open source' design now used by thousands of people
around the world to produce biodiesel on a 'homebrew' scale. She has
been involved in home-scale biodiesel technology development since
2000, and has developed several simple techniques to address biodiesel
