Hi all.
I finally have a pump, heater and bubbler. Yaaay.
I made a 20 ltr batch of bio. All went well.
I added about 4 litres of water then promptly made 24 litres of emulsion. Bugger. Mucked around trying to fix it. Tok a small 1 litre batch from it and tried some suggestions. Like readding glycerine. Added about 150mls in all after three stages. No difference. Added some vinegar (an acid) which seemed to make a difference but what I noticed really helped was the heat from the microwave.
So just this night I have reheated the whole 24 litres with the heater. Its was amazing. Within a 30 minutes I had about 20 litres of orange juice coloured BD on top and a very milky thick water layer on the bottom. So I'm gonna allow it to settle then give it a few more bubble washes.
This follows the theory that some swear by of heating the water for washing. I might try adding the water and just boiling it like I did for this batch. I have now attached the little throttle that came with the air pump so I can control the bubble a little better. ALso the blue stone has already started disintigrating. Its probably had 24 hours in the bio. Man thats nasty to eat it already. Lucky I bought two more. I might try the "bolt in the enf and put pin holes in the tube" method.
I'm pretty confident that heating any emulsion will allow will crack it.
