You really need to recover your two drums Tony. Meth has just gone through the roof

Thanks for the heads up Nige, so I phoned up my supplier and its only gone up by £2 for a 205 litre drum.

Look on youtube for bucket rat traps, some good, effective and simple ones on there and easy to knock up.

Thanks for that even have a big rat trap they’ve set it off a few times but never caught one. Have ordered some of the poison.

used this stuff and it cleared up the problem https://www.pest-expert.com/mouse-poison-32-c.asp

Key is to make sure there are no other food sources as they will go for the easiest/best food source first. You want there to be nothing else around but the poison

Last night I did the pop bottle test.
The result looks good. I have clear (albeit quite dark) oil/bio mix and a clear glyc drop out.
I'm unable to to a 90/30 as the only meth I have to test it is from the wet stuff.
When I was processing with the wet meth the resulting oil was cloudy/milky with no drop out so this hopefully has fixed it.

I'll dry off my wet 200L batch and give it a go this weekend.

Many thanks for the help and information to recover this. 

Mr T.

Thanks both.
I will try the 1 litre method, just remind me how long i need to shake the bottle to get enough of a reaction to test this?

I actually have a hydrometer somewhere just can't find where it is. It looks like you can buy one on ebay for about a fiver. Would I need an alcohol one or an methanol one or are they one and the same?

shake for 30 seconds with 10min gaps. 3 times should be enough.

You really need a hydrometer that will cover the range of SGs likely for pure and slightly contaminated methanol. I would suggest from 0.8 to 0.9, but a slightly wider range would be acceptable. Many alcohol hydrometers for the home brew market might not work to indicate the accurate density much above 95%methanol /5%water.

Ethanol has a very similar SG to methanol so a Trellis hydrometer is usually adequate for our needs.

Be careful if trying to use proof spirit figures, as US and UK use different scales for proof spirit.
