The mistake: diluting REGULAR goat milk with water instead of condensed goat milk. :shock:
My Mom & I make soap together and the other day I called her to tell her to put our goat milk in the freezer so it would be ready for soaping when I got there. Well....she bought a carton of regular goat milk and didn't tell me. When I get there, I realized she froze the milk (which I thought was condensed) without adding the water. So I chill a bottle of water and plan to add it as I mix the lye. Things were going well until the oils were added and the whole things seized up on us. After analyzing all our steps in the process I finally realized that adding the water to the regular milk did not allow for the right lye calculations.
Do any of you know whether this batch can be saved? Please help!
