Newbie need help with this recipe a recipe (found on the internet) I am trying to cut in half.
44 oz tallow 22 oz tallow
20 oz olive oil 10 oz olive oil
20 oz coconut oil 10 oz coconut oil
12 oz lye 6 oz lye
32 oz water 16 oz water
I ran this though the lye calculator (for the half batch) at BB and for the smaller batch came out to:
6.22 oz of lye
13.86 oz water
Why the small difference in the lye? And why less water?
And can I add one oz of EO to the half batch? If so do I add 2 oz of water?
Thanks so much for any help or suggestions! I am new to soaping. This will be my second CP soap.
