Where has the joy gone?

Wouldn't you be better off using your whites for bio and selling your good oil for good money?

[K.H]

I swap whites for bio with one guy and RM kindly gives me his,although i keep on at him to make bio so hes using everything,esp as sometimes he struggles for oil

[Tony]

I get so much good oil that, at the moment, whites are just more hassle than needed. So I give them to whatarascal and everyone is happy.

The bug bear for me is getting shot of the glyc, it's building and building. I phoned SEPA to ask their advice and they couldn't tell me is there anyone up here in Inverness get rid of theirs? and where?

[Soupstone]

 I dont use the whites and sell the good stuff as only last November, I was down to my last 100 litres and had started looking into paying for palm oil 

 Knowing my luck, if I sold any, I'd lose a collection or 2 and have nothing. Or attract the attention of the tax man.

Plus I'm a bit of a hoarder.

Same here, better to hoard and not use it than the other way around.

yeah when I first started i found it amazing.  i still remember the satisfaction as i drove past all those fuel stations running on veg.

nowadays its a chore to do but sometimes i still find it amazing, especailly when i look at my paperwork and realise the last time i put diesel in the car.... 

its times when i tug my twin axle caravan from scotland to cornwall and back again and it cost me £0.   thats what puts the grin on my face!!!

Hi all
I found after 4 years making bio at home that it was just a chore for monetary gain , then a got the factory and it was all fun again but after 3 years of trying to get everything to work well and pushing new chemistry , filter systems , dealing with crap supply's , getting new customers and whatever that takes up more hours than I care to try a count a bit of mundane straight forwardness seems a million miles away but would be really welcome.

Ps hi Mr motion good to see your still about (I still have your sink)

[nigelb]

It seems as though your joy will return Paul when you get rid of that bloody sink 

[Carrington]

Yes Nigel get rid of the sink and collect my new (second hand maybe need repairing) big vacuume pump. I will be able to start on the new project then. here's to Crystal clear bio if it all goes to plan

[K.H]

When i save up enough glyc for you to visit i could take the sink and pass it on?

Err yes! Don't envy you that - at least for us homebrewers it's not the end of the world if it all goes wrong - takes proper commitment to go commercial and put yourself at the mercy of the government and their illogical policies.

Not bad, just had a call, 7 days later, and I'm a collection down. Oil tritated at around 0.2 or 0.3, at the start it was 100 litres a week although it had went down a bit lately.
 Appears they've been offered 40p a litre. Knowing the oil, I would probably have matched that.
