I’m not sure how it came out so nice, I did everything wrong! I cut it into smal chunks (what a sticky mess that was!) and threw it in the crockpot. After an hour I realized I did not add any water. I was so annoyed that I was messing up again I just grabbed the jug or distilled water and just...

Thank you! By no means was I questioning the advise, just the how do I do it! Thanks for the links, I’m terrible at finding stuff! Really appreciate all of you taking the time to help!!!! @KiwiMoose Thank you a million times! The rebatch came out better than I expected!!!!

@akseattle I almost made it, no colorant, but the Italian Lemonchello from BB was calling my name!

Thank you! I’m so upset with myself! @DeeAnna @AliOop any advice on the process of rebatching this boo boo? I’m terrified I’m going to make it worse out of ignorance. Information overload happening here in my poor brain.

Thanks @KiwiMoose -Do I make up the difference in the other oils also?

I did a really dumb thing and messed up on the recipe. I was making goat milk soap for the first time, and everything was going perfectly. The milk didn’t scorch in the lye, the measurements for the oils were almost perfect pours, no sitting here with an eyedropper trying to remove 5 grams...

I donno if I’m gonna be able to the pretty micas are whispering to me “ wouldn’t the dark blue work really well with the copy of moonlight path in the one without goat milk???”

It’s so hard to stay in my lane and go slow, I want to create ALL the pretty soaps!!! The evil soap gremlin sits on my shoulder and whispers in my ear “Go ahead, do it!!! It will be fine!” I made a batch of CP soap, the gremlin made me swap some oils, add EO and mica and do an in the pot...

I love the way you explain things ❤️ this makes perfect sense!

Oh no!!! More homework!!!!! That’s the next rabbit hole to dive down. Thank you so much!

I’m double checking myself here 😂 So I have 7% of a soft oil to play with….would grapeseed oil be a good fit? I personally have nothing against using lard in soap, but want to nail down a good go to vegan recipe. Would that 7% adjustment work with the PO also? I’m really struggling to...

I’m doing cold process but you made a good point about not reinventing the wheel! Thank you!!!!

Thanks!!!!!

Can I get a second set of eyes on this please? I was leary about it since she didn’t list percentages and when I ran it through soapcalc the liquid and lye don’t match. This will be my first attempt at goat milk soap and want to make sure it’s a good recipe so I’m not wasting ingredients...

Anything I can change up to make it slower moving?

Thanks! Percentages are much easier!

Whoops! Yes I did mean water to lye! What would be the recommended ratio to plus into soap calc? Math is not my strong point Whoops! Yes I did mean water to lye! What would be the recommended ratio to plus into soap calc? Math is not my strong point! I like the idea of yogurt, what’s the...

Ugh, I have stuff planned that day, when is the next one you will be at? I’d love to connect!

I’m doing the 32% palm 32% olive 32% coconut (76) 4% castor oil 5% superfat I’m feeling pretty proud of myself, I did my homework and converted this to a 3:1 lye to water ratio and make some hot process soap today. I really suck at putting the batter in the molds though! Also learned a very...

I’m feeling pretty proud of myself, I did my homework and swapped out palm oil for shortening and converted to a 3:1 lye to water ratio, ran it through soapcalc and make some hot process soap today. The recipe I used ended up being 32% GV shortening 32% Olive oil 32% Coconut Oil 4% Castor Oil...
