Something went wrong... I got curds, but the mixture didn't become opaque. I spooned some out, and it looked to be a few yellowish curds of soap along with the clearest tallow I ever saw.
Lao Tzu said "failure is an opportunity"... rather than just throw my failed batch out, I'm going to see what it does in the distillation cylinders of the still which I use to turn wood into charcoal and creosote. These cylinders will heat to about a thousand degrees F., so it will be interesting to see what kinds of soap can be made by pyrolysis.
