Hi everyone!
Are there any pitfalls to be aware of when upscaling soap recipes?
I have a tried and tested recipe I've used for single log moulds, and I'm considering making enough for 5 moulds at once rather than 1 at a time. I imagine this will streamline things given my base oils are the same in each soap, just with different additives.
Are there any issues with simply multiplying my lye and oil ratios by 5, separating and mixing in additives before pouring into moulds? I can't think of any but thought it prudent to ask, as if it went wrong it would be a huge waste.
Thanks for your help in advance.
