Cranfest is usually in Sept and its a huge one!! It's in Warrens about 2 hrs from Madison..I think the cost for a booth is about $250 not really sure but draws crowds of probally 100,00 in the 5 days its there..It pretty much takes over the whole entire town..hth

bittercreek south carries it..

Our local grocery store still carries the red devil lye..if you have a hy-vee nearby-check it out!! hth Tammy

I have wanted to try a OM&H hp soap but unsure of how much honey, powered milk and oatmeal to add..I have been making 3lb batches...would I add those at trace? Could I sub out some of the water and use it for the powered milk?? any help would be appreciated...thanks

Hi all..Just wondering how much titanium dioxide do you add to make your soap?? How much per pound of oils?? I have been making hpcp..do you add in when the oils are melted, right before you add the lye/water mix?? TIA Tammy

Well, I attempted to make cphp(I think thats the right abbr for crock pot soap)..anywho-I was following the directions & pics to a t & THEN (drum roll)...it came to trace & then it said it would come to a really thick trace and then would seperate again..well, it didnt go to the really really thick trace..Did I not stir it enough?? Then we got the applesauce stage then the thick potatoes..It then said you could turn it off, take it off the base and then stir..well I put a towel on the table, grabbed the potholders, took it out of the base, placed on table and started stirring...and WOW-I thought it was MT St helens!!! it seemed like the more I stirred the more came pouring out of the pot..What did I do wrong???? It didnt mention that in the directions.. I can laugh at this now but at the time I was like holy cats :shocked2: ...I finally got it all settled down again & put into my mold...time shall tell what it will turn out like...Could it be lye heavy?? if you need me to post recipe I can..PLEASE HELP..TIA Tammy

I really could use the info too please!!! Thanks-Tammy

pumpkin pie is awesome!!

I have seen this formulation on the boards a few times..L x W x H x ? Once I saw you multiply by 3.8 and another time by 4..Which is right? Or is there a certain way to figure out the last number?? I am going to attempt my first batch of hpop & I just want to make sure that I get all the calculations right..I got one of those drawer organizers 12 x 3 x 2. I thought about trying that since I want to make a smaller batch first..I also read that you can use like a cardboard box is this right?? I have a more slab box 7 x 7 x 6..which is easier for starting out?? I chose to do the hpop first cuz i dont think I will be able to wait that long to see if my first attempt worked or not..I am so excited!! Thanks for any info!! Tammy

Thanks much!!

When you add butters do you weigh them in the solid form or would you melt them & then weigh them?? any help would be appreciated..TIA Tammy
