Welcome Peter :). You'll have to wait a while before you use that one, good luck :thumbs:.
 
Hello and Welcome!! Castille takes a really long cure......you may want to have another recipe ready to go that will cure quicker. Enjoy the process!

Thank you! We are expecting a long cure process 8-12 weeks, but we would be open to something quicker. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you. We are expecting the long cure, but would like to try something quicker. Does a hot process vs a cold process hasten the cure?

Welcome PKappy!

HP does not quicken cure, it only quickens saponification....two different things. Hp actually takes longer to cure because of the extra water that needs to evaporate.

It’s more like 8-12 months for Castile. Not 8-12 weeks. There’s a recipe on here called “Zany’s” Castile which cures a little faster due to the process. Check if out.
