I've done it like that using '00' caps in a Cap-m-Quik filler unit that does 50 at a time. Get some syringes and a big bore needle like 10 or 12 gauge. Farm supply places usually have a vet section. Short is better.
Put the mixture in a straight-sided jar (no taper below the mouth). Put upside down in the fridge overnight. The oil will solidify on the top (bottom) and the water can be poured out. Then you're left with a puck of solid oil that you can pat dry or shave the outer edges off of to remove any remaining water.Any tips or tricks for further separation of oil and water when sep funnels aren't doing the trick? Sitting at most water drained off the funnel....doesn't look emulsified still but has a cloudy color to it....
after I do my initial straining of the solids I usually put it in a tupperwre container and freeze it. Then pop it out the next day and rinse the ice off the bottom with cold water.Any tips or tricks for further separation of oil and water when sep funnels aren't doing the trick?
