Watch me pour my Kentucky Bourbon soap using the woodgrain pour technique. This soap smells so good and is suitable for everyone..
***Test batching: I recommend doing a test batch if you're using a new recipe, fragrance oil, or special additives. You don't want to ruin a large batch if things don't go as planned! This is my test batch size. You can adjust yours to suit your needs.

I soaped this batch at 100 degrees F with a 1.7:1 Water Discount
To cut your bars. First cut loaf in the width you desire and then turn the block 90 degrees to cut your bars.
******IMPORTANT: Please run this recipe through a soap calculator for your batch size. This will give you your water/lye ratio once you input your desired ratio and batch size. You can also adjust your hard to soft oil ratio to meet your preferences. ****
Additives:
Table Salt 1 Tbsp for my 2300g batches to Lye Water. Adjust as needed for your batch size and preference. The Salt allows you to unmold very quickly - 5-6 hours.
Granulated Sugar: 1/2 Tablespoon also added to lye water and dissolved before adding lye. Sugar gives your soap added bubbles.
Fragrance: Kentucky Bourbon from Bramble Berry
Colors: Cocoa Powder & Titanium Dioxide
This soap technique is best for a slower moving recipe and Fragrance Oil.
