TOM I have that happen once in awhile.........if its cloudy with no percipitate, then jam away. If it hass little particles that you can see when you shake it then refilter. I have had batches turn out gold and clear to a coludy dingy brown. What it comes down to is hte conditions that hte powder was made it and stored in......these brown cloudy batch I notice tend to be in the summer when its hotter and humid, when I make it in the winter and spring it tends to come out jsut a little darker than the oli itself. Hope this helps
