Ignore my question.. maybe I didn't fully understand what I had to say 8)8)8) But! You did and I fully understand what is going on now. So the way I did it, my frozen beer should be good enough according to you (BG and KS). Thank you so much!!

One more question, how do I know if the beer to turned no-alcohol or not? I let it sit, boil.. I still see the frizz there. After freezing I don't know.. Do I just assume there is no alcohol left or what? Is there a way to really know if it's all good to use? Thanks!

It was late at night when I questioned (around 1am) and didn't think I would get much answers and I couldn't waste my 10lbs batch so I went ahead and finished it. And now I am glad I did it after reading your kind & reassuring replies. So this stinky smell is normal hehehe :mrgreen: Just hope...

I may have been impatient.. I boiled then freezed my beer but did not wait until it was fully frozen but rather slushy. I put in the lye, not very slowly, and the lye melted rather quickly. However, the color is orangey and a bit foamy. I read about turning orange so maybe that is ok. But...

Hmm.. after reading your replies, I changed my mind! :) I will go for the deodorized since the chocolatey smell won't be there after cure.. Thank you very much !!!

I want to get cocoa butter for the first time and been searching around and found out there are some options. I narrowed it down to "natural/unrefined" but got stuck in the smell. How strong are the natural, undeodorized cocoa butters smell? I see some people like the natural chocolatey...

I have the plastic pail which I got my coconut oil from and it is HDPE 2. Can I use this for the lye water?

Thank you all for the replies. Now I will go for plastic and never use the glass again!! I thought Pyrex was Pyrex (my mom still uses hers after 30 years) but now I know.. So shocked I jumped back when that glass just POOFED and turned to bits and pieces. Thank goodness I was wearing my...

Hi, I recently shattered 2 of my pyrex glass jar when making lye water. So I want to try with plastic. I was being careful when mixing the two but after my second break, I don't want to use the glassware anymore. Can you recommend good plastic that can withstand harsh lye water without...

With the help from here forumers, thank you, my oils were saved and used and no problems with my soaps!! Thank you!! :)

I bought this in Bulk A and I usually HP so yes the temperature does matter. I just checked NG and thank you for letting me know of this website, they have good selection of FOs. But while I am on this thread, I want to ask another question, why will the scent not stick? I put in the FO at...

Hello, I recently bought a fragrance oil and there was no indication of the flash point on the online store so I asked them. They replied back with the answer which was 103 C. (I bought Arabian white musk FO) I questioned back if the temp was 103 Fahrenheit and not Celsius but they replied...

Hi, I am not so used to M&P and want to know how much I would need to cut for my mold. I have several silicone molds I want to use for my M&P but they are all different in sizes and shapes. I don't want to cut up too many pieces and let them be wasted, or I don't want to have shortage in order...

Ok.. so I CAN use this oils, yay!! I am going to give away these soaps so I don't want anything bad happen to my friends & families. Thank you!!

Thank you. I will try with more FO. And perhaps I should wait a bit longer for the batch to cool down before putting the FO. :)

I check the local store and online to find the least expensive oils and it really depends on what oil I buy. But thank you for your comments. I will keep searching to find the best deal! Anyway, from what I see from the posts, It is not ok to put Olive Oil when I am using the Pomace instead of...

I don't think it was burnt because I took it down from the stove as soon as I heard the crackling sound. But kept on sizzling for few minutes as the pot was still hot.

I was melting my coconut and palm oil to a liquid form and while they were on the stove, I was working on my lye water. But I left the oils on the stove although I turned it off it was still very hot and I started to hear sizzling sound. sob~~ I tried to cool it down but still the temp was 230F...

First I tried with 1 oz of Arabian Musk FO, but after HP-ing there is no musk smell left in my soap. So next I kept going up and now it's 2.10 oz and still not many smell left. For 44 oz batch, how much FO do I have to put in in order to keep the scent smelling as it should? It doesn't have to...

Wow I never knew there were so many things that can make soap do weird stuff. I'm really starting to loving it! :)
