Teach Soap

Ive been searching and reading that this needs to stay cool. I have my milk freezing, I plan on mixing the lye in really slowly and having the bowl in an ice bath.

I only have wooden molds. Is that going to be an issue? I told my husband we need to make room in the fridge, so I can pop them in after I pour. Should I maybe cool the molds a little bit? I dont want to mess this up! How long in the fridge? My garage is really cool right now too, so I thought I could put them out there maybe after I take them from the fridge.

I was thinking of going all out and doing it with oatmeal and honey too. Reading mixed amounts on how much oatmeal to add! lol But I also read the honey can heat things up.

I feel like Im over thinking it but I paid like $6.50 for this gallon of goat milk and while if I mess up once, it wont be TOO bad, but messing up more then that would suck haha

Goat's milk has natural sugars. If you add honey, that's more sugar and your soap could overheat. You can add 1 TBS of oatmeal per lb. of soap. I wouldn't insulate. If the mold fits in the fridge, that's what I would do.
