2 batches, and they look good too!

Me and a friend managed to make two batches of soap at once. It was nuts!

The first one has a base of lemon juice with lemon balm leaves and honey added at trace. Scented with grapefruit and sweet orange

The second one is a beer base, scented with pine, cedar, bergamot, and a little bit of liquid smoke I wanted it to smell like camping.

I will probably test them in a couple days. Pretty excited!

Congratulations! Your soap sounds interesting. You do realize they won't be at their best in only a couple of days. You might want to wait a little longer before testing them.

Although, I have to confess I used to have to test mine after only a few days. It was so hard to be patient when I first started making soap. Just make sure they aren't still zapping when you test them.

Don't forget to post pics! :wink:

Congratulations on your first batches!

Did you use lemon juice in place of all of your water in the first one? The reason I ask is that the acidity of the lemon might neutralize some of your lye, leading to a softer soap. If you only used a small amount, it probably won't make a difference. If you used a lot, the consistency may be different than the beer soap.

Would love to see pictures after you cut!
