I have a CP recipe I want to make but need to scale it down. It only gives amounts in grams; no percentages. For the oils, I know how to figure out the percentages. But for the water and lye, I'm not confident in figuring out the %Lye Concentration or the Water/Lye ratio in order to enter into a calculator. The amounts given are: 248g water and 112g lye. So total lye solution is 360g. I think I need to divide 112 by 360 to get the percentage. That would give me 31%. Is this the correct thought process?
And what would the math be to figure out the water:lye ratio?
Also, is there a way I could've entered these amounts in a lye calculator? Or would the only easy option be Water as Percent of Oil (which I've read is not the best one to use)?
Thanks so much.
