I am thinking of 24-72 hours total of steeping before decant and filter. I'll probably assess each day and decant as soon as it looks like the powder has fallen out of solution. I'll then compare the two oils for color on a paper towel just to see how much is gained by a long steeping process vs. the quick and hopefully not too dirty. Will report back.
