O.K., I've been trying to stay with a basic recipe until I get everything under control. I've just made 2 batches (12 bars each), and they seem to be what I am looking for. They came out pretty good, but plain. I would like to know what everyone thinks of this recipe, ESPECIALLY the water/lye ratio ... I used:
20 oz lard
12oz Olive oil (pomace)
8 oz. Coconut oil
2.25:1 water:lye ratio
Thanks for any/all input .... P.S., I did do the zap test, and get no zap .... How does a stronger lye mixture affect quality, hardening (after pour), etc.???
ETA: This was a cold process soap ............
