The bottom is very black and the top is a little cloudy. I used 90% KOH and the oil tested out 3 extra grams over the base 7

Drain the glyc, wash it and dry it. Then you can give it the soap test and you will know. Looks good for the initial reaction, but there is no way to know at this point if it is "good" or not.

Looks good, give a couple of days to clarify and then do a wash test for soaps.
