    Wort and beer soap using beer kit

    Hey everyone. I know I'm a newbie but I was just looking at the beer kits advertised on the forums and was wondering a few things. It looks like a fun project in and of itself but I really like idea of beer soaps. I did a search and found a thread on soaping with wort but I thought I'd make my...

    Disinfecting and best practices

    It is the fact that it's used on the face that makes it different? I'm using a little dipper thing that came with my larger crock pot for melting my oils for the small batches and I was planning on using that for food too. I don't see the harm in melting cocoa and shea butter in it and then...

    Disinfecting and best practices

    Fantastic responses, thank you everyone. I've just labeled my bowls to keep BB and soap stuff separate. Do you ever use CP silicone molds for MP soap after? I just cut a CP soap with a stainless steel knife from the kitchen. I won't do that again. I'm even paranoid about putting the soap stuff...

    What made you pick your avatar/ username?!

    This is funny (if you catch the detail) My name is what I intend to name my business once it can get started. I'm a decedent of the Clan Campbell and their crest features a wild boar. I also want to eventually formulate my own wet shaving soaps. Black Boar is also a Scottish tavern, so I have...

    Disinfecting and best practices

    Hey everyone! I've just started to make soap and bath products and am wondering what people do to create hygienic work spaces. I currently manufacture in the room I sleep in. I have several small tables that are covered in vinyl and plastic. I disinfect my surfaces with 10 percent bleach...

    First Batch- CPOP Oil pooling

    Alrighty! I'll redo it, trust my gut and not panic about it not gelling fast enough this time. I'll let the forum know how it turned out. Thanks again everyone.

    First Batch- CPOP Oil pooling

    Thank you! There certainly will be, I'm set up for HP too. What I'm concerned about also is if I leave it in the mold for a week will it be very hard and crumbly when I go to cut it?

    First Batch- CPOP Oil pooling

    Thanks for quick response! It didn't gel as fast as I was expecting so that's why the heat was on. I kept turning it on and off and at some point after gel began the center did expand. I do think I overheated but I wanted to not say that just in case to get a more unbias reaction. I didn't have...

    First Batch- CPOP Oil pooling

    Hey everyone! I just finished my first batch of CPOP soap. It's 20 hours later and there is oil still pooling in the corners and I'm lost on what I should do. Should I wipe it off and cure? Or should I rebatch? Recipe: Coconut oil 30% Olive Oil 30% Shea butter 20% Cocoa Butter 10% Castor oil...
