What to do next?

Just want to check if I am still on the right track, I have now washed bio 4times on the last 2 I stirred the mix, yesterday I drained of almost clear water. So I decanted back into processor and turned up heat to 55 C ,once warm I started to pump through filter and spray back onto side of drum. After 2 hours of this bio is still cloudy. I turned off pump and cranked up the heater and the bio started to pop as if it was boiling water off. I will let it cool till Monday what do you suggest, heat back up tomorrow and then let cool or more washing? Thanks once again.

Just give it some time to dry.

Thanks Joe I did notice today that in a small jar sample that about 10mm had clear bio on top, would bubble drying help or do I just have to be patient and wait.
