Do you know what the difference was between the two brown ones, Eyeroll? Just the recipe? Strange, huh? Also, the ones that people got which were tan, were they gelled?
I plan to do a 1:1 lye solution and then but the beer syrup and any water needed into the batter. I made one beer soap but I put a touch of vanilla in it so it is dark tan. I absolutely detest beer so I was extremely ridiculously surprised how much I love how the beer soap smells. I can't tell if there is any beer smell really, or if it's the FO's (Black licorice, Orange Peel, a little Vanilla) plus a touch of warmth from the beer or what.
I found a local beer called Bitter Woman. I have to use it, of course, and have some boiled down but not all the way. I'm planning my soap but don't know if it will turn really brown of not, which is primarily why I'm curious.
Thank you for the replies and pictures. I would love to see other pictures of your beer soaps that don't have discoloring FO's so I can gauge my colors.
