This is probably a question for Paul, but need some input. I soaked oats and made an oatmeal milk and added the lye to milk (from one of his posts), which was half of the liquid needed. I add canned GM after the mixture cools, so as to not burn the GM. Problem...
When I combined the lye/oatmeal milk, it instantly sizzled and turned into a thick, glop. I stirred it really well, and when it cooled down, I added GM as usual, though still thick, but better. The lye seemed to be disolved, and I added it to the oils. I added the remainder of the wet oats just after a medium-to-thin trace and a tiny bit of FO. It seemed to gel, but now has a layer of oil on top. I have yet to unmold, but thought this seemed a little strange. Did the same recipe last week, minus the oatmeal and oat milk, using aloe instead and no problem. :?
Still only about eight hours after pour and need to be patient.
Thanks!
