I've been mulling an idea...

I know some people who get very acidic oil.

They check the ph level and mist wash (water wash) the oil,
if the ph is off center by much.

To get the same results. Perk the WVO through some unwaxed ammonium nitrate. It's a weak base, it's cheap, should react with the free fatty acids...I have not tried it yet but I think the catch is going to be titrating then 'fine tuning' (time, volume, etc.) to get to pH 7.0.
