Hello all! I thought I'd post pics of my Guinness soap and see if my thoughts are on the right track here. I've been making this soap for probably 2 years, and for the life of my I can't seem to get the same aesthetic as my very first try (1st try is the first picture). I am thinking that all of my subsequent batches must be gelling, but they look worse than just "gelled" to me. I guess I soaped very cool the first time I made it. I did not really know what I was doing and my notes are kind of useless from back then. I know that the beer really heats things up and each batch I've made since then seems to heat up beyond my intentions.
So does that look like the only problem I am having- just things getting too hot?
Ironically I was not happy with that first batch because there was bubbles and lighter patches in it!
