I unmolded/cut the last batch of soap I made. It smells soooo good... lol I'm also making a batch of soap amongst the other ten thousand things I'm doing... Heh.
I'm doing a beer soap tonight. I had bought a single can of beer a week or two ago (polling my friends on which of the single-can beers in the store they thought would be better used for soaping rather than drinking, lol). Can boasted of being 25fl oz. I simmered it down to 9 oz. Measured out enough beer syrup for about half my water, poured the rest into a icecube tray and stuck in the freezer.
I also learned that beer syrup, milk powder, citric acid, and sodium lactate make a curdled mess when mixed together. lol It kind of looks like soap batter when it rices. XD I took a picture, but I haven't uploaded it from my camera yet.
ETA: Pictures! I took a picture of my lovely beer syrup (I ended up going with Bud, for the curious), the syrup+milk powder (basic fat free bovine milk they sell in the stores around here)+citric acid+sodium lactate, and the freshly poured soap. The mold is the Crafter's Choice log mold from WSP, and my first time using it. I greased it up with some mineral oil before sealing it together just to help with the release. The last time I used a Crafter's Choice mold (the one and only time I"ve used the rectangular loaf mold I bought), the soap really stuck in the corners. I'm being a little bit daring and seeing if the soap will gel... I soaped room temp, and I'm leaving it out with a fan on it because it has a LOT of stuff to heat it up (beer, milk, citric acid that was not pre-reacted with the lye...). On the other hand, I've had all of two soaps gel on me before.
