I got so sick of having to mix everything everytime I made a batch. I make 30 to 40 lbs of my base oil/butter mixture at a time and store it in an 8 gallon bucket with a spigot I got at a Home Brew supply store. I also have a couple gallons of pre-mixed lye solution. It's all at room temp and I just pour out what I need for a batch. If the recipe calls for something extra that's not in the base (like vitamin E, honey, oatmeal, etc...), I add it with the colorant and fragrance. Welcome to your new addiction.
