Welcome to make-biodiesel.org, the best reference site on the Internet for information on how to make biodiesel at home or on the farm.

My name is Rick, I'm also known as RickDaTech on the forums. Soon after becoming interested in biodiesel back in 2005, I opened B100 Supply to offer equipment and lab supplies to biodiesel homebrewers. As one of the first companies to support biodiesel home brewers, B100 Supply developed many new products, and over time developed documentation for those new products. In 2006 our Appleseed assembly instructions began to morph into a full fledged how to make biodiesel book with nearly 200 pages. I also wrote articles explaining homebrew which were posted on the B100 Supply site. This material came not only from my personal experience making biodiesel and offering technical support, but also was drawn from the forums and message boards. My philosophy was to write material that was based in what works for everyone. There are many sites, new and old, based on what works for the author. Variations in feedstocks and local conditions often meant that the information on those sites did not work for everyone. By drawing information from multiple sources, sticking to mature topics, focusing on the science behind the process, and watching closely for reports of production inconsistencies, I was able to successfully document how to make biodiesel in a way that works for everyone.

In 2008 Make-Biodiesel.org was born from B100 Supply's product documentation and web articles. Much of it was posted after reformatting and updating. Since then I've continued to add new material and revise older articles.

Biodiesel Workshop Registration




Houston Biodiesel has been hosting biodiesel homebrew workshops for the past 8-years. Now at our new Heights location featuring a comfortable lobby, private coffee/beer bar, and a clean warehouse we are excited to once again offer homebrew workshops. We have a complete hands on curriculum covering everything from oil collection, titration, reactor & wash tank building, caustic chemical mixing, phase separation, and washing and polishing the finished biodiesel.



Join us for our next workshop for an in depth hands biodiesel education for the beginner/intermediate brewer. We have room for 12 persons.



Workshop is a basic to intermediate level class. Perfect for the beginner and even better for that individual who’s done his homework yet is unclear on some of the process. We also cover some advanced topics like methanol recovery and ion exchange washing. In addition to an educational and fun workshop we will also feed you. Lunch will be brought to us from City View Catering. We also have a private coffee bar that will be at your disposal. Chris can simultaneously make espresso while talking biodiesel.

So if you’re on the fence whether or not to homebrew this workshop will spell it out clear as day so you can make an educated decision if homebrewing is right for you.
