more feedback on centrifuge

Yesterday I took the time to make a few further comparisons of centrifuged / unwashed bio and some bio that I had been water / bubble washed. Both did appx. the same on the 27-3 test --- good but not perfect. When I introduced water to both test batches,shook them up vigorously, and let them settle. The centrifuged bio settled milky looking water to the bottom. The washed bio settled crystal clear water to the bottom. This leads me to believe that the centrifuged bio did not remove all of the unreacted lye or methanol. Wish I had some bio master to advise me, but at this point, I think water washing is a necessary step.
