I make cold process soap all the time. So I'm very familiar with the process. I would like to start hot process. My question is do I set the SF to 0 in soap calc, and then add my desired percent after cook? My recipe includes 10 percent Shea butter, so would I only add half to main oils and the rest post cook, and with soap calc set to 0? It will be a 500 g batch. So at 10 percent of my oils, that would be 50 grams total of Shea that I normally put in main batch. I'm thinking 25g in with other fats, and the remaining 25g post cook? Or do I just add the full 10 percent to oils like usual, and 5 percent extra of Shea after cook with soap calc set to 0. Thankyou for any help lol
 
According to soap making friend, the calc is set to 5 for sf, I add the entire 10 percent shea as usual, but add an extra 5 percent 25g after cook. Bringing my total batch to 525g. They lye amount is also alot higher than soap calc.
