I am a new soaper.
3 soaps done--first two batches make me realize I needed a new scale BUT, I believe will cure fine after a long time.
3 soap is nice, going well.
I have researched the salt soap (made it tonight!)
I have beer in my fridge my husband won't drink (my brother home brewed some and my husband is a great guy and drank it at my bro's place, but it will sit in the fridge forever!)
So, of course I will soap it.
I have read up on as much beer info as I could in the search I did but never found this answer...
will the beer smell come through after cure?
If nothing much--what would you compliment it with? I only do EO, due to family sensitive skin. (I soap for challenge and intrigue--I never want to sell)
I cooked down the beer while I soaped the salt bars tonight and am rearing to go.
I cannot wait to try this! It's like waiting for christmas morning!
However...I have supplies coming that won't arrive till Monday or so...including some oils I would like to be using in my soap.
I have OO, CO, cocoa butter, soybean on hand
I have AO, Castor, shea on the way (stearic acid too--but mainly for the shave soap that I am gonna eventually do).
Once day I will find a butcher to get lard/tallow to render or shop and try and remember to pick up some lard to try, but now I keep forgetting--(kids are out of school and driving me crazy!)
