Yes, it is.

I boil for 10 mins, cool and freeze. That’s it. I’ve made lots of batches like this with no issues.

People, are you gods?

I wouldn’t say I’m an expert but I’ve made many, many soaps using beer and I have never had a trace issue. So, I don’t think it was the beer at all in your case but other combination in your recipe.

I don’t get it... I have lard soaps years old and they simply do not smell at all.

Ah, ok, thank you, I feared that. I’ll give up the extract, will stick with some essential oils.

Hi. I’m going to make a body oil and would like to use some vanilla extract(not EO). Can anyone tell me how much I should add per, say 50g of carrier oil? Or percentage? Thanks.

Made this morning, turned out just fine. Will see when unmoulding

Because I'd have to add a lot. I can't use a kilo of BB. Recipe is shea, cocoa, coconut, almond, equal parts. Haven't got around to doing it yet... hoping at the weekend.

Thank you all. I'll have a go...would be a shame to throw away.

I've done all the soapcalc palaver of course. I have the recipe ready. Only wanted to know whether melting back would give same results in soap...

So...made some nice body butter but stupidly put far too much essential oils in it. Can I melt it back and turn it to soap? Should work in my mind...

Yep, got it. Thank you very much ladies (and gents, although seems to me there are very few men on this forum)

So, what you're saying is that if my recipe has 100 g water and I want to use 30% purée, I should make the lye solution with 70 and add the 30 purée at trace, is that right?

Hi, can anyone tell me how much carrot purée I need to use at trace in a 70% olive oil soap? For colour and whatever other benefits... I'm talking percentage, I'd guess. Thanks.

Yes, it has lard, but most soaps I make do...never happened before. Yes, the goo is oily. Will test the soap in a few weeks, but think it's fine.

Well, I've scooped it out. Now I have bars with a window. Fancy!

Uh...I didn't taste it, you see... If it is, what do I do with it? How do I check otherwise?

Hm..strange. No, does not zap, even touched the thing with bare fingers... Not tongue, admittedly. Very annoyed.

Hi...made some goats milk and honey soap yesterday, straight in the freezer, then fridge over night. Cut it today, to find this soft substance in the middle through the length off the loaf. What is it? Gel? The soap otherwise is fine... Will it harden, do I scoop it out?
