Hello, I am new and I know I have alot to learn .. two days ago I made my first batch .. oh my .. it didnt harden, like a cheese block consistancy and it stinks bad .. 1. I forgot to cover it .. 2. I dont think I let it trace enough .. these I know I did wrong but I want to show you my recipe and get some input as to why it stinks so bad. Also I'm still confused about superfatting.
I used the soap calc at soapcalc.net
I used 7.14oz coconut oil (76d) which is 25%
18.6oz ex virg olive oil 65%
2.9oz corn oil 10%
water 10.9oz
lye 4oz
at the end I added my own almond butter 2oz (ground almonds with coconut oil to make it buttery)
didnt wait to buy a stick blender so I stirred with a wisk (lol) for over an hour ... it smelled so good last night but today ..omg! it smells aweful! like its rotten.
Any advise?
