Good morning everyone!
Over the years I've made many batches of HP beer soap, using a lye concentration of 30%. This past year I've gradually converted almost all of my formulas to CP, using a lye concentration of 35-40% and room temp oils and lye.
Today I'll be doing CP beer soap for the first time, and I'm wondering how low I can go with the liquid (100% flat, room temp beer). I'm guessing I can't do a 40% lye concentration with beer soap, but is 35% ok? I'm not doing swirls or color, and I'll be using WSP Nag Champa for fragrance. I don't mind acceleration as long as I can get it into the mold before it's solid. Thanks in advance for any advice!
