Jcandleattic Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Be patient and make sure to stir, and another tip that's helped me with using GM as my liquid, is to work a little faster in getting the lye solution into the oils, because of the fat content will start to saponify.. You don't have to use lightening speed, but I pretty much just dump the solution into the oils as soon as the lye is completely mixed. Good luck. GM makes a LOVELY bar of soap.

Purple Lilac Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 If you have done a lot of research then you know that if you freeze your GM first then add the lye to it when it starts to thaw and get slushy and keep it cool while you are mixing the lye with the milk. It will turn a buttery yellow but if it turns dark then the milk has burnt.Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scent Cellar Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I have been pouring my goatmilk into individual molds and preventing gell. It makes for a much lighter colored bar of soap...but any bar of goamilk soap is a luxury.. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
