I have scoured the internet and found so much contradicting advise on Hot process. Add coconut milk after trace, add right after lye, add after the cook I thought I would start here and try and save myself some time, if a few soapers comment doing it the same way. Thanks!!

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find the post in a search.. But do you prefer to let the lye determine the superfat oils / oil (mystery as to what oils/oil is left?) or do you choose what oil you prefer and add it after the cook? Still a newbie trying to prefect the method!

I am wondering how many different recipes do you use on average?

I know it's a personal preference but just curious what everyone prefers for your Soap bar quality numbers. I am still a newbie and haven't figured all mine out yet. So far for winter I know cleansing needs to lower for me. What conditioning range do you guys like?? Making my first batch adding...
