I use the typical size - diaper size. Combined with the amazing lather it really does a great job of cleaning your back along with the rest of your body. I love flour sack towels and use them all over the place - in the kitchen instead of those useless non-absorbent towels I used to use, in the...

Nice buckets! I've been using the 2nd batch in the shower with cotton flour sack towel....and holy cow I am really loving it! It lathers up like crazy with the washcloth and I don't feel like the soap is drying me out at all. Great cleaning power, mild peppermint smell, and I'm going to use...

Initially I thought my batch was no bueno. After 48 hours I washed my hands and it felt really, really drying and slimy. I thought "Oh no, I mismeasured the lye most likely......" and then after a week I tried it again and it feels ok. It definitely feels less gentle at 1% SF compared to 5% as...

Yeah I like that knife. I use it normally for separately my pound cake from the form... I should have clarified a bit....I think I will revert to using the bowl for mixing and then transfer to the plastic pouring jug for pouring.....The pictures don't do it justic but these are about 12" tall...

I haven't tried either (only 2 batches under my belt) but I know that broccoli peels from stems stink like farts as well when I open the lid to my compost container even the next day.

I'm using leftover churn buttermilk from making a ton of homemade butter. I put them into ice cube trays and once frozen I put them into ziplock bags. I have way too much buttermilk and I don't know what else to do with it.

My first batch I followed this recipe to the tee except I used 100% buttermilk. 44% OO 24% CO 32% PO 5% superfat This time around I figured I'd just try the trifecta at even amounts and add a "medium strength" amount of peppermint oil. 33% OO 16oz 33% CO 16oz 33% PO 16oz 1% superfat (I chose...

No worries at all! Heh heh that motto is certainly a big part of my life now. Definitely looking forward to learning a lot from all the experience of the members here. Thank you!

Thank you. Making my own (fill in the blank) is really starting to grow on me. I do strain the buttermilk several times during the butter making process so hopefully it does catch all the butter bits. I also tested the soap today and my hands do feel pretty nice after using it. Doesn't...

Thank you! That's what I said but I got this message on my screen "This message is awaiting moderator approval, and is invisible to normal visitors." :smallshrug:

1. This is the introduction forum last I checked. 😆 2. I'm using butterMILK....not butter....the butter has (mostly) been extracted from it. I think that makes a difference. Glad to see another bread maker here! I am new to bread making too so this has been a tangential adventure to say the...

Thanks for the warm welcome. 😍 I was careful to not scorch the buttermilk and the final product smelled perfectly fine. I have to let it cure for at least a few days so that may change but I did search before making and it seems to me the potential smell goes away and that people's experiences...

I started making my own bread.....and then quickly added butter to the repertoire.....which resulted in a large amount of fresh buttermilk (uncultured)....and I couldn't bring myself to just toss it down the drain, especially after having paid $8.75 + delivery for a quart of heavy cream. I...
