Best hot process soap tutorial hands down! I’ve been doing cold and hot process soap for years now and I always watch videos to learn from others. This was the best! 🎉 Thanks!

Hello, and thank you. I discovered mixing the color into the oils for a single color soap a long time ago and have done it ever since. I got the soap cutter on etsy.com and the vendor is Bud's Woodshop.

This is fantastic! Thank you! question - does hot process soap have a smell/stink when you cook it?

Hi. It has a very slight smell that smells like soap. I can't really give any more description than that and it is very slight.

I like the idea I love the fido and good luck

I can'r wait to try hot process. does the slow cooker stay at high? I can't seem to find a video that talks about the high, medium or low..Love the video, thank for sharing your knowledge

Hi, and thanks for watching. The temperature varies from person to person. I always use high and I have since my very first batch. HOWEVER, don't fill your crock more than 1/2 full and WATCH it at all times because it will climb when it really starts to cook. Simply stirring it will remove the air and it will deflate. Good luck!!

Made my first one last night with goats milk. What a disaster! I finally got gel mash potatoe stage. Boy it sure was ugly. Do I add the milk lye to it straight in the crockpot if hot oils? I see ppl adding the milk later. Yours looks so nice

@theorgelmeisterakathesoapm8589

Hi. I see people doing it, but I don't recommend any kind of milk in hot process because it gets too hot for milk. I only use it in cold process and freeze the milk. For hot process, I ONLY recommend using water in your lye solution. Sorry for the disaster, but you should try it again with water/lye solution only. Thanks for watching and good luck!!

Same thing happened for me lol except I used coconut milk and it turned kind of a bad color. Then I must have been short some lye because it never hardened up😂 gonna keep trying.

Is hot process just a matter of preference? Nice soap, lovely summer color.

Hi. It really just is a matter of preference. I almost always do cold process, but I enjoy doing HP from time to time. Thanks for watching.

Please forgive me if this is a duplicate question. I asked it in response to someone else's comment, but then it disappeared. When you talk about using full water, is this in reference to the default value of 38, "Water as % of Oils" from SoapCalc?

@theorgelmeisterakathesoapm8589

3 ай бұрын

Hi, and thanks for watching. I'll explain as best as I can. In simple terms, I always discount cold process soap water by 10 or 15%. Therefore, if the CP recipe says to use 10 oz water, I use 9 oz. However, I use full water with hot process. If the hot process recipe says to use 10 oz, I use the full 10 oz. I hope this makes sense.

@theorgelmeisterakathesoapm8589 Thanks for the reply. What I'm trying to identify is how you determine what the "full liquid" amount is. Using a soap calculator, there are typically 3 options: Water as % of Oils, Lye Condition, and Water:Lye Ratio. I was curious as to which one you use and at what value. I love learning about other folks' thought processes in their soap making.

@@ElectricHound3000 I use the soap calculator at www.brambleberry.com, which is MUCH easier to use. I've used soap calc a few times, but I'm not very familiar with it. Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer, but I highly recommend brambleberry.com because it's SO much easier and is very accurate.

​@theorgelmeisterakathesoapm8589 Thanks! That was the piece I was missing. Brambleberry's calculator uses that value of approximately 38 for Water as % of Oils. I've been using far less water. After bumping it up, it's working beautifully. Appreciate the help!

Which gives you a more dense soap? Hot or cold process?

@theorgelmeisterakathesoapm8589

8 ай бұрын

Hello. I think CP is more dense, though both last about the same amount of time in the shower.

How long does the whole process usually take?

@theorgelmeisterakathesoapm8589

Жыл бұрын

Hi. Since there's no waiting time for things to cool down, it usually takes about 30 minutes to fully cook it, a few minutes to mold it and you're finished. As soon as it's cooled enough to harden, you can cut it.

What do you mean when you say "I use full water?"

@theorgelmeisterakathesoapm8589

4 ай бұрын

Hi, and thanks for watching. Many soapers (myself included) discount our water amount by a certain percentage for a variety of reasons. Since hot process cooks the soap and some of the water evaporates, I don't do a water discount. If it calls for 20 oz water, I use 20 oz of water.

Hello, and thanks for watching. I post the percentages of oils so you can make any size batch you want. THIS PARTICULAR VIDEO has soap with 60 oz oils and 8.65 oz lye. With these percentages, you can enter it into a lye calculator like brambleberry.com or soapcalc.net and make any size batch you want and the lye calculator will tell you how much lye to use. I hope this answered your question.

Ingredients please
