Awesome, another Coloradoan! I'm in Fort Collins, myself. As @Kamahido so accurately pointed out, it truly is an addiction. You'll never be the same again!
So glad you are here!

I made a very simple batch of soap but it's gel-like in the center so I was wondering if that is ok or not but I had fun

FUN is good! Gel-like center may be "partial gel". It should even out over time. Try insulating with old towels next time to avoid partial gel.

Thank you Zany_in_CO - I'll try that next time
