I had a volcano in my kitchen and it wasn't because I added the water to the lye :shock: I brewed chamomile tea, melted honey in it, let it cool, but not solidify, then added my lye. It was an instant volcano and it smelled horrid! It didn't get me and I was geared up like I was heading into a chem war but it made my heart jump! I cleaned up and went on my soaping way! What was it, the honey?
 
My guess would be the honey. I know I had a volcano, my second batch, I brewed tea and didn't let it cool all the way, was still kinda warm. . . added the lye and boom. I learned patience, let you liquids get cold first. . .lol
