My family likes our goat milk but we never drink it, I only use it for soap. I guess out of habit of buying milk at the store. I have nigerian dwarf goats so I dont get a ton of milk anyways. Only one is in milk right now but i have a couple more that may be pregnant and if they kid this winter...

It went into Gel, yay!. So I put it in the mold and now keeping fingers crossed..I didnt end up adding anymore fragrance..Hopefully it will still be fragrant enough. Its a goats milk soap with frosted pumpkin scent! I really really hope it works this time...

well, put my last batch in my double boiler on low...there was sooooo much oil that was pooled on it so i put that all in too...so i didnt add liquid cause I figured with all the oil it would be fine...Do I have to add more fragrance again? or will it still be fragrant from the first batch?

My last 4 recipes have all been different, but I use all the same oils...coconut, palm, olive, shea butter, mango butter......I always double check all my recipes with a lye calcualtor... Ive never cooked a batch, do I just put it in a crock pot on low or can I do it on the stove? Do I add...

You make Ice cream with your Goats milk? is it good..? I own an Ice stand, we make our own Ice cream but I buy my base... Thanx for giving your opinion on pasteurizing...I like to hear how others make their goats milk soap...

Ive been making soap for quite a while now, Ive made a bunch of lip balm but never lotion. Ive found a bunch of recipes online and I cant decide which one to try first. I also would like to try making goats milk lotion but cant find a good recipe for that. Any suggestions would be helpful..

I am curious to what others do? I always pasteurize my goats milk and then freeze it before I use it when I make soap. But Im wondering if I actually need to. I make all my soaps using the cold process, my milk/lye solution gets pretty hot and all my soaps go through the gel stage. Im...

I am doing cold process! I usually mix lye and oils at 100 but maybe ill try 90 instead..thanks

Thank you again, after doing a bit more reading I realized all I was witnessing when it went back to liquid was the gel stage. Which I knew all my soaps did but never watched it or peeked in at it..I always wrap them with blankets and check them the next day.. Im getting ready to make a...
