debratant Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Not as crackly as that cracklin birch...but it still crackled a bit. I think I know the secret. Room temperature beer....opened the day before and left out on counter in a plastic cup is what I did.I soaped around 90-100.The lye water did get really dark....and I'm assuming it's because the beer heated up so much. But the soap is fine...not burnt smelling or lye pockets. I didn't have any volcano issues to speak of...it bubbled a bit, but I use a tall plastic pitcher so wasn't worried.Whether this is a good way to make beer soap...not sure since the liquid should be cold. But this is a pretty cool effect.I think a heavier oil helps too.I have some TD in the bars that didn't dissolve right...darn it. Oh, and this is Sex on the Beach FO. Wanted something fruity.

Rae Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I love the way it looks. I have probably made 100 beer soaps and never was I lucky enough to get what you got. Really cool looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapbuddy Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Very pretty! I find I get the crackled look from TD if I gel. If I don't, I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
