I've made this soap many times and this is a first! White bumps that go throughout the soap. On the surface you can wipe it off and it is dry. I'm thinking it might be the lye.
I don't use any TD for this recipe. I'll pick up some ph test strips tomorrow. This soap is 10 weeks old. Will it still zap? The only other thing that's white in this recipe is the gm, but I don't see it going dry like that. I use fresh/frozen gm.
Thanks all for the input! Much appreciated.
Now I work with master-batched lye which is 50:50 lye and water. Depending on the lye concentration I want, I add the additional liquid as needed. Sometimes canned goats milk is the additional liquid. I find that I prefer to SB the canned goats milk into the oils before mixing in the lye solution. This way I don't need an ice bath or frozen goats milk in the lye solution or any of that. It's just easier. And no lye chunks in my soap.
If want to use fresh goats milk you could do the same with fresh goats milk, too.
