Made my first batch in years today and it's been several hours and it does not appear to have gone through gel phase. Below is the recipe. Used SoapCalc.net's calculator.
I hope I used the calculator correctly. It's been 10+ years since I last made CP soap.
Does not reaching gel phase affect the batch negatively?

I mixed until it reached medium/thick trace and poured. Trace time took less than 10 minutes. Nothing unusual happened. Total lye: 70 g/2.47 oz
