So does that mean after 17 pages singing it's praises no-one now does it and it's not worth doing?

No.
We've tested it, It's been proved to work, some are still using it.
It's all about what each brewer finds works for him,
with so many ways of finishing our fuel there should be something for everyone.

Could I ask what routine you have settled into with it and how it cuts the time compared to what you did before?

Thanks

I agree with Mark it does work, very well in fact and it suits me at the moment as the drain my mist washer goes into is blocked, when that is sorted i will most probably revert to that but only because its less hands on, which to me is the main thing

Wow. Your brave, asking a question like that.
I hope you get better answers than when I asked the same people on vod, "what are the advantages of acid washing" someone not only spat his dummy at me but chucked his toys as well. Lol.

I use Sulphuric (From Nigel ) now and do 3 pump washes in the processor, then its transferred to the non overflowing mist wash tank where i just send 25 litres of water through to give it a final wash
I would normally just transfer the unwashed bio to the wash tank, turn on the tap slightly and come back in 5/6 hours to clean fuel, that suits me because i prefer hands off over saving some money
But with a blocked drain i cant mist wash for hours so the acid wash suits me, in future if i need fuel in a hurry i would also acid wash over mist washing.

One advantage that cant be overlooked is the fact it can all be done in processor, something that may suit people with restricted space, AFAIC you can easily get the same result bubble or mist washing but its good to have in reserve if you get a very soapy batch or need fuel ASAP

I still use it, I very much like the idea.

It allows me to have uncontaminated glycerine for glogs.

Doing a titration and adding a bit of acid to the wash water isn't so much hassle.

I've never really had fantastic results bubble or mist washing where as the titrated acid wash is pretty fool proof.

I guess it's just a case of each to his own.

OK cool just wanted to know if its still an option as I like the sound of it.  :)

Wow. Your brave, asking a question like that.

Confrontational thats me  :P
