Our first batch was a fail :(
I came home from work and checked on the towel-wrapped mold. I tested the soap with my tongue and it didn't zap. However, when I cut it open, I discovered the white pockets of lye that DID zap. Bummer!
I think it was from keeping the stick blender on the bottom of the bowl instead of flowing around the entire bowlful of mixture. Must have been some globs that I didn't get!
So we are in the process of rebatching it in the crockpot. Wish us luck! Even if it doesn't look that great when we're done, we were just doing this first batch to learn the process, and we'll probably be just using it ourselves, so no big deal. Lesson learned!
