The first batch of soap I ever made I used the brambleberry calculator. I thought it came out very darned good (it was just a simple pure canola oil soap). Then I switched to using soapcalc and others. My soap always seems to get "dry", really "thick" is the right word, before the lye reaction is complete (the zap test still zaps me). So looking at the calculators, I see the brambleberry one DOES have a good bit more water than some of the others. Any particular thoughts on which calculator has the better water levels, how best to calculate the amount to use, etc? Drawbacks of using too much or too little water? That sort of stuff.
Thanks!!!
