Hi Earlene The Lye / Water ratio was set at 27% for the 100% Tallow. OMG! I only saw now that I am stating the % Water to Oils all the time. I'm sorry for misleading you, it seems I've been interpreting things wrong all the time as I usuallu just change the "Water as % of Oil" number and think...

You drink it? The canned ones? The brine water I have is from the 1st step before bottling it... But now I know that too... :). But thanks for the prodding. Will try a small batch and report back. :)

I was just starting to bottle some olives and just as I was about to throw away the brine water I thought ... soap!.. Has anyone ever tried making CP soap or CPLS using olive brine water? I used a 1:10 ratio for the brine. i.e. ikg salt to 10Litres water. Thank you in advance
