    When the test batch is just too pretty...

    Looks like Tigers Milk, a chocolate candy from my childhood days that I was completely addicted to! Haven’t thought about that in years, Now I have to go on a hunt for some. Your soap looks absolutely delicious!

    Too much coconut oil?

    Soap Calculator Pro. I am very frustrated with it. I used to use the Bramble Berry calculator a couple of years ago, then I took a break from soaping. When I got back into it last month, the BB calc required an update. I tried to update my tablet and it still tells me to update. I have...

    Too much coconut oil?

    Great, thank you! I’m still battling that pesky partial gel. I’m going to try soaping at room temp to see if that helps. Any other tips you have for suppressing it would be greatly appreciated.

    Scorched goats milk

    Thank you SaltedFig. I have made this soap before but never smelt the strong ammonia. I usually put the milk in an ice bath and this time I didn’t so I thought for sure I ruined it. I will go ahead and mix it up and see how it turns out. Thanks again for your advice. I will definitely look up...

    Scorched goats milk

    Hi Penelopejane. I kept telling myself that it’s drain cleaner but I just couldn’t do it without hearing it was okay from someone else. Thank you.

    Scorched goats milk

    Hello everyone, I am making a batch of goats milk and honey soap and I guess I got too impatient pouring my lye into my goats milk and it scorched! Strong ammonia smell and orange color. How can I dispose of this? Can I pour it down the kitchen sink?
