I've made HP soap off and on for years and have always rendered my own tallow - almost always from pure suet. I just rendered a huge batch from a really large cow and it came out yellow and mushy! Not hard, not white like it always comes out. My question is why? This was truly just suet - no other fat added and very little meat, blood, or gristle even. Does it have something to do with the cow's diet or health? I noticed previously that drained fat from hamburger from the same cow turned out the same way - yellow and mushy. Any hints for saving this tallow? Really frustrated as I spent a while grinding and melting the suet!:cry:
