when do I add my beet water?

[beverlyl]

I am boiling the beets now to make a pink soap and I was wondering when do I add the beet water? I have found conflicting data on this online some say to add lye to the water and make as normal and some say to add water at trace???? how would I do that :roll: thanks

it will turn brown though?

I don't believe the color will last.
You could make your CP soap light on water, then when it's finished chop it up and CPHP it with the rest of the water needed in beet juice. The color may have a better chance of staying -- but in all honesty I don't think it will hold up.
