Just made a batch out in the un-airconditioned garage. It's about 85 and humid. The batch accelerated super fast (I used the blender minimally) and started sweating. I'm sure it wasn't the FO as I've made this before. I'm at 33% Lye concentration and that is usually workable. I try to soap at room temp but since it's hot out, 85 is room temp. Do you think it was because the oil and lye solution was a little warmer or because I was physically in a humid room. It goes against my logic that more water in the air would cause it but anything is possible. Any thoughts?
