Teach Soap

If I were to use the canned milk, that would be about half for the recipe above. How long does this stuff keep in the fridge? You guys are so helpful! Thanks

Ive read so many different answers to the Q about when is it ready to cut. Looking at the above recipe, I know there are a lot of variables, but what is a good rule of thumb to follow? Im horrified Im going to wait to long and have a giant log-o-soap! Or cut too soon and have it squash out on me. I keep getting ready to make the soap, then realize I have yet another question.

I usually cut mine as soon as they are completely cool. I cut one loaf too soon and the center was still very soft, so now I wait about 8 hours after CPOP before cutting.

I found some powdered GM yesterday at an Ingles store. Im however not understanding how I would add it. Do I reconstitute it? Mix it with just enough water to get it liquid? Add it at light trace? I froze the leftover liquid from my can. Not liking that. Also last night my soap was really greasy had a slick on the sides, was worried half to death, but today its gone.

Thats exactly what I made with the goats milk...it was very greasy last night, but its gone now. And I thought it would get dark, but seems to have lightened up

....to the point of I could barely pick it up without it slipping through my fingers!

Thought I had true trace...Will wait and see. If not, there's always rebatching!
