Hey Jeffsangie....I'm from North Central PA...Mansfield that is and as Scouter said ask all the questions here. I've gotten alot of help from here and read through the posts, you can learn tons! Best of Luc and welcome to a new addition! :D

My coffee soaps smell like coffee also...but I use expresso so that's propably why. I also use grounds in the soap and call it my gardener's soap because it takes the dirt completely off after being in the garden. And A friend of mine uses it after working on his greasy cars. As for the scent...

If I sell Beer Soap do I need permission from the brewery to use their label as my label on one side of the soap? The other side is my logo and ingredients plus weights. I think it's just advertising for their brew. But does anyone know the legalities? Thanks!

Thank you for the info...I will try it both ways and see which I like better.

Yes it's me again! When making wine soap I know you HAVE to boil down wine, but do you use it in the reduction state or do you have add water to the original amount you started with???

I'm making Beer Soap for Christmas presents right now and have a question for you other beer soapers. I don't boil down the beer, I just let it go flat over night. I make it room temperature process, but I get trace in actually less than 2 minutes! Does this happen to other people? The soap...

Thanks for the replies! And no i didn't wash them at all so now I will scrub the Heck out of them and see what happens. LOL! Thanks for the help! Gotta love this forum! Later, Gregory

Yes please let me know what happens. For me it's no big deal because the soap is just for my own use but was planning to give some as Christmas presents. Castile is the best because the longer you let it set the harder it gets. And it lasts forever! Good Luck! Also this was the first time I...

Has anyone had this problem? I made 100% Castile soap and used Wilton red colored silicone molds and the soap came out a lite pink from the molds bleeding into the soap. But here is the thing......while I was stick blending I remembered I forgot to get the molds out....so I didn't hit...

I was wondering if you put it in a food processor and get it really powdery could you use it as Laundry detergent? Or do you think when the water hits it it would just glop together and not dissolve in the clothes? Just wondering...I just may try this with all my left overs to see.

Also make sure all Animals..people and other things that will get in the way are out of thee room. Nothing worse than turning around and boom a cat in the way or your friend wearing your new soap! Best of Luck! Also where in PA are you from??? I'm in Tioga...which is north central...about...

Thank you soooo much! I thought that's what it was but wasn't sure. I usally write EVERYTHING down when I do them because the ole memory isn't what it used to be!!! Of course I won't be making that much mixture! LOL! Thanks again!

I have not been on here in a long time and am now starting to make soap again and I have searched the posts for hours looking for the ratio for the room temperature lye & water mixture. I use Aloe instead of water and I think the ratio is 50-50. If anyone can help me thanks! I also think that...

I work and sometimes try to work as a restaurant cook(for 30 yrs)and love my job! I wish I could be a full time soaper but as the diners call I will listen! LOL! I really love to cook and some day will own the Restaurant but for now soaping is a hobby and a side job!

I wrap my soaps in ziplock bags. Each different soap in a separate bag. And then send them in the padded envolopes or if not padded then wrap in bubble wrap in a flat rate box or envolope. Also don't forget to send a sample in your order becauce everyone likes something free even of it is just a...
