I just sliced up a batch I made yesterday and in between two of the pieces is this off-coloured patch. The best I can diagnose is DOS but I thought DOS was something that happened at least after a little while, not next day?

Yay to not DOS! :)
Nope, it's CP actually. Hmm, I know all my oils were melted when I added my lye solution and the only other thing I added was some vanilla fragrance oil, could it have been from that?
 
Could be but it seems to be localized to one bottom corner. BTW did you use a vanilla stabilizer? Your white soap won't be white for long...
 
I didn't but I used what is apparently "Non-discoloring vanilla". I'm not kidding myself though and am prepared if it does start turning brown. I'm kind of intrigued actually to see just how much it will change :)

I've quarantined the 2 bits of soap any way for the time being to see if it spreads, and I heard it can transfer to other soap (?) so it's currently in a different room until I know if it will play nicely with the others :D
