Question Holy foaming WVO

My WVO filter setup has been foaming pretty badly in the cooler weather.
Is there any way to stop it so I can continue my filtering?
What causes the foam? Is it just a thing it does when it gets cold out, or could there be some water sneaking in there? I cover the drum real carefully, and test the oil for moisture before I start the filtering process.
I have a 2000 watt element on the bottom of the drum, but I hate to run it for any length of time. Besides it takes forever to warm the drum up if it's over 1/2 full.
Is heat the only answer or am I overlooking something?
