lovebug7480 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Hey everyone, I was curious about doing water discounts with cp. When I do cp I follow the sage calc as well as a couple others, but I go with the minimum water that the sage suggests. I do 45 oz logs and the sage says to use between 11 and 17 oz water. I always go for 11 oz. Is that doing a water discount? I usually do a 6 - 7 % superfat with discounting my lye to what they suggest which usually is about 6.26 oz lye to 11 oz water. I then usually add in 1% (0.9 oz) shea at trace as well. What would be the best way to discount water and how exactly would I do it? TIA everyone!

RobinInOR Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Yup, you're already discounting water.However, MMS bases the amount of water on the amount of oils. Here's another way to do it in the FAQ http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1978 where the amount of water is based on the amount of lye the recipe uses.
