Maybe I don't go slow enough when adding the lye to the beer. Somewhere in that process I don't do something right! I made another small batch today, just to make sure it wasn't just a fluke.

So creamy! Whe...Your beer soap looks lovely, Nancy! So creamy! When I use beer in soap, I usually boil the beer for about 5-10 minutes the day before and then chill it in the fridge overnight. (I use chilled distilled water to make up any difference due to evaporation.) Then I gradually add the lye to it and stir the solution in an ice bath to keep the temps low. That technique has worked out well for me so far, knock on wood. Congrats again on your beer batch! It looks beautiful.LatherBeSoapinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018716091511424218noreply@blogger.com
