Comprehensive biodiesel homebrewing and equipment build class

Learn to make biodiesel fuel safely and build the equipment for doing so

I'm teaching a biodiesel homebrewing class in Berkeley, CA on November
4-5. The class will cover all of the necessary chemistry for standard
backyard biodiesel homebrewing, and includes a lot of hands-on practice
making small test batches of biodiesel (and making guided mistakes so
you can learn how to avoid them or fix them in the future). I will have
my processor trailer outside with an Appleseed homebrew processor system
on it, and we will also cover some 'advanced' techniques such as
ethanol-based biodiesel, and more.

Optional: for those who wish to, you can also build a processor to take
home- to do so, please get an electric water heater and order a parts
kit from www.B100supply.com (register with me first, then tell him
you're ordering for the class)- we'll build just the processor, not the
wash tank, but you can order either the simple processor kit or the
processor/titration/wash tank kit and we'll show you how to use all of
the equipment. If you do not want to buy a processor, you can just help
the others and learn to do it yourself later.

The class runs from 10-4 each day.

Since this is a class in my home town (I don't have a good venue in
Berkeley so I usually travel out of state to teach these classes), I"ll
have a lot of extra equipment to 'show and tell', including pHlip Test
quality testing, some benchtop lab gear, several variations on wash tank
equipment, various heating and filtration/collection equipment, and
more. I will have more experiments pre-arranged than is usual in these
classes.
