When I start my homebrew biodiesel refining with that 150 lbs of WVO I've been discussing, I would to circulate the byproduct crude glycerin into distillation and purify it to about 90% purity or better. The reason is that I would like to "recycle" and send the glyerin to a local natural soap bar manufacture nearby. Am I taking this too far?
You are not meaning boling the glycerine and then condensing it, are you? this can't be done at atmos- pheric pressure. Glycerine will crak just a few degC below atmospheric bpT, so glyc distillation must be done under lower than atmospheric pressure. OTOH, distilling away the methanol is reasonable, as for the low energy input and a valuable fossil chemical recovery.
