tonight i made my first batch of beer soap. i had started preparing on sunday by opening the beer. this morning i boiled it and then stuck i the fridge to get cold and slushy. and yall were right when you mix the lye with the beer, UGH it STINKS!! i cant get the smell out of my nostrils. i almost mess up and forgot my shea butter, but i caught it just in time. i mixed everything at 100 degrees. used bb oatmeal stout fo. and stuck it in the fridge. it did get thick super fast so i hope i did everything right. cant wait to see how it turns out! :mrgreen:

i will try to wait patiently but im not very good at that.

Sounds like the soap will be fine.

WTG! Congrats! I still have not made beer soap, but since I hate the smell and taste of beer in general, I can imagine really hating the smell of stinky beer/lye :lol:

Make sure you post some pictures!

Beer soap is actually quite nice Lavenderlady. The beer scent goes away and you end up with a faint, sweet hop smell. It's quite pleasant. The natural sugars of the beer add to the lather.

so its still zapping, is that cause it didnt gel, and takes longer to complete the saponification process?

congrats! beer soap is on my to-do list. I'm using up the last of my beers soaps that I purchased online. They don't have any added scent...they smell just like soapbuddy described-faint, sweet hop smell...and nice lather too! :0)

You all have made me think that I just may have to swipe a beer from my kids fridge and try this! :mrgreen:
