Alcohol and lye do not go well together. You must cook out the alcohol or let it go completely flat before making a lye solution. A SERIOUS volcano will take place if you don't. It's NOT pretty. Beer soaps are AWESOME and a great seller for me. Be careful though... Use flat beer always...

You get busy and stay gone for a little while and all of a sudden you realize it is October. :shock: DUDE. It's Fall break and the kids...well...are driving me bonkers. Life's been fun. The eldest dawling got Pneumonia a couple weeks ago. Is better now. Younger dawling is heading for it...

Looks phantaztic. You did a great job.

I'd like to but I can't WSP had them on surplus.

peach mango, cappuccino, pumpkin cheesecake, chai tea and asian pear are new... brown sugar & fig Amish Friendship Bread Pumpkin Banana Nut Cake Tuberose Exotique is a blend of Sandalwood and other hardwoods. YUMMY!! :shock:

My bars are 2.5X3.5X1.25 to 1.5 and yield anywhere from 4.8 to 6.7 oz in weight.

I'm proud of these. It's super humid in the house and they haven't sweat and are rock solid this morning. I cut them about 6 hours after I started and stamped right then. :D

OK.....after HOW long?? I made my salt bars a few minutes ago. VERY plain...but hey. Oils are coconut, canola, castor, avocado, sweet almond, safflower, and veggie soy wax at 5%. I used mostly coconut milk for the lye solution and added the rest as water. Took out 1.5 oz for the witch...

THAT is awesome!!!!! I LOVE the eyes.

I have orders to go out tomorrow morning, supplies to buy, stamps to make, creme to work on, new labels for smaller cream soap samples, 3 swaps to finish and then laundry.

The bulletin is VERY helpful. It explains how and why certain ingredients are needed. There is also a cream soap calculator that shows different water factors, super fat percentages, the hardness, conditioning, stability factors of your recipe....I've never known anyone to be pleased with the...

What method did you use? Have you read Failor's bulletin on cream soap? I make cream soap and have so since early '06. I've never ever used it before two or so weeks have passed. I will scrape some of the soap from the spoon and try it as I am mixing and getting it to relax during the rot...

I've never had that problem. I have had it heat up on me but I always get the lye mixed together completely. Same with coconut milk.

I have some yogurt soaps that are about 3 yrs old and show no sign of mold.

Welllllll.....I just donated 2 bars to each of the 385 Frontier employees effected by Fay in Deland Fl. I still have WAY more than I need....But this is what I do with all of the "fun" batches I make and am not sure if I will sell or not. I still have far far far too much soap in this house...

I'd love to. I got them on surplus at WSP and haven't been able to find them since. :(

T'anks. I've been doing it for about 5 yrs now.

Your husband would probably have a cow if he lived with me. It's nothing to make a batch or 3 a day. Enjoy your yogurt soaps. It's a great addition. Cucumber, yogurt, kiwi, avocado......

Let's try this again...I love yogurt soap. My customers love it too. It is much creamier than soaps made with water alone and I like it better than gm. I like to add it as all of my lye liquid. I like adding cucumber with it too.
