I am thinking of mixing up my Lye 1:1 ratio with water but I'm not sure how to use it in soap once I have one this? Do I just deduct the amount of water from the premixed lye? I'm very confused on this.
Thanks

Look up master batching in the search feature. You put in 2 x the weight amount of lye that is called for then subtract the water weight from total water weight and add the remainder in what ever liquid you choose. (water,milk, beer) It can be confusing but if you find the other post about it it will show you an example. Good luck
I hope this works I posted a link.
