Brat Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I've read about beer soap, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I got some local stuff, Abita Amber, poured it into a glass, and let it sit in the fridge for I guess it's been 3 days. Then went outside in the grass expecting volcanos and fumes and all manner of scary things, but it behaved really well when I mixed the lye into it. Only thing was that it got a little applesaucey when I poured. And I got one of those silicone cupcake pans recently, figured I'd give it a try, and my recipe happens to be about the perfect amount for it. Anyway, here they are resting, I'm hoping they keep this nice light color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brat Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Yup, 100% beer, no water. Here they are out of the mold. I've read that they're supposed to have a light, nutty scent, so I didn't use any FO. I just did it last nite, so I'll update this weekend how they smell.

Brat Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 From what I've read, the sugars in the beer are suppossed to do wonderful things for the suds. I might have to HP a batch to see for sure, I'm a chicken when it comes to trying out CP before a cure LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
