I have found mine at Bed, Bath and Beyond for $9.99

What am I doing wrong? Every time I go to the board, the only thing I can see is "announcements". I have tried to register but it keeps telling me that my email addresses are invalid. I would love to check the Soap Scent review board out but I am only able to see 5 topics under...

For 1 lb batches, I use an 8x8 silicone pan I picked up for $9.99 at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It works great for the small batches and the soap comes right out with no muss or fuss... I also work in grams when I am making 1 lb batches (454 grams=1 lb). I find that 1 lb is easier to test stuff...

One way you could do this so you would not get curdling would be to mix the beer and the lye then add the goat's milk later (at light trace). Two things that will cause milk to curdle is high heat (like adding room temp goat's milk to lye and the reaction heats up to a high temp) or an...

A good way to get the "lemon oil" out of the lemon peel would be with high alcohol vodka or with Everclear. This might be a fun idea if you are trying to make a "clear" soap with alcohol. I make Lemoncello with lemons from friends. I peel the lemons and soak them in Everclear for 2 - 3 months...

Just remember - when you are making a "beer" soap you are only adding water with carbohydrates in it. The yeast will break down some of the more simple carbohydrates into alcohol and CO2 but the rest of the carbohydrates will just be in the solution. Think sugar in water. The carbohydrates...

Rubyslippers - nope, I didn't read it on here, this was just my own experience from making an egg yolk soap with eggs from our chickens :-) I am pretty sure that the color change had something to do with the saponification reaction and how it affected the proteins in the egg yolks. It was...

Hi everyone... I have been playing around with this hobby for a few months. I am still working on reading all of the different threads in the CP forum to try to answer some of my basic questions. Someday (yeah, that will be a long time off) I am hoping to be able to sell some soaps. I...

Hi K, I don't know of any beer or hop EO, but I do make my own beer... One thing you may want to try is adding some "pelleted hops" to the soap itself. The hop pellets look like bunny food but they are hops. Just squeeze them and you will have very small hop flakes that you can add to the...

If you are looking for silicone loaf pans, check out Bed, Bath and Beyond. I was there last night and they carry the food grade Silicone loaf pans for $9.99. They also had 8x8 silicone pans too. I am trying the 8x8 for some sample batches... Edited to add - I tried a 1 lb sample batch in the...

Nice Facebook page :-)

Hi everyone! I am a total soap making newbie from the Phoenix area, which means we are far enough outside of Phoenix to have sheep, alpacas and chickens but within a 90 minute driving distance of the airport :-) I am very new to the art of soap making. I started thinking about it after...
