I've been having a weird thing going on with my sugar syrup turning the lye solution red... I made a new syrup in case that was the problem but it still went a vivid orange colour. Not like caramelised sugar but like a neon orange...

Just found this from Amanda (Lovin' Soap): https://lovinsoap.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/agave_soap.jpg (via Fluid Hot Process Soap Tutorial and Recipe (Fluid HP) )
It's agave syrup, though, not beet/cane sugar.
