    I’m about to make a pit fire, and will take on board your past experiences, for which, thanks. Always interesting to see what others do. Very nice pots.

    Is dit een anaeroob proces? Oftewel, mag er geen zuurstof bij de fermentatie komen en is het daarom noodzakelijk dat het deksel goed sluit? Of is het deksel alleen om muggenlarven/algengroei te voorkomen zoals eerder geschreven?

    I'm confused. 100% olive oil in soap making has 0 cleansing properties? You need coconut or palm oil to have any cleansing ability.

    Watching your pit fire has finally helped me fire successfully!!! Thank you! I was firing way too small and for not enough time. Everything just came out black and under fired. Today, I finally did it right and have orange pots!

    I feel that sectioning off a bit of pond or creek water (like a kid making a baby pool on the riverside) is very feasible and would leave very little evidence archaeologically.

    Help please! My mixture turned creamy like yours but after sitting for a while a clear liquid raised to the top. Its currently boilling and has been for several hours. It is sudsy but isnt anywhere near yours. I came across a recipe before yours that said to use 1 cup fat to 3/4 lye. So i used 3 cups lye and 3&3/4 cups lard. My lye floated an egg without condensing. The lye was also strong enough to make hydrogen. Is my soap ruined?

    thanks for the video. I have a question. Does the ratio you used change if I used tallow instead of olive oil? have you make ash soap with tallow? I only use tallow on my skin and I've made really nice balms with clarified deer tallow. I get 20 lbs or more a year from my deer harvests so figured it would be cool to turn it into soap as well as balm. it's really healing stuff. the melting point is super high almost like beeswax practically lol it makes a good candle too actually

  • @annep.1905
    @annep.190523 күн бұрын

    You could experiment and find out, but I believe that the ratios stay the same no matter which fats are used. If you use a stronger concentration of lye, your soap should come out more solidified, but it might anyway because you're using tallow instead of olive oil. Adding a little honey or ACV will give it a nice lather.

    I bought a very similar 2 gallon press at a local flea market. It cost about $50 and had a lot of surface rust. I think these presses are not very hard to find. I had seen them for years at flea markets, but I never needed one until I bought an old apple grinder. With the apple grinder and my screw press I can make apple juice easily. Soon I will use it for making grape juice. It was rather tedious to clean up my screw press, but it was well worth it as it now looks really nice. I used sand paper and steel wool to remove the rust, then I painted it. It took maybe 4 hours of work...........

    Why do you fire for so long? From what ive read you only need to reach the temp not hold it at that temp. Im new to this still and just curious why you fire for so long.

    This was excellent in the step by step explanation of how you do your pit fire. Very encouraging. Well done. Clay not dry enough, thr roof coming down on it, or tossing something in a bit hard, but I think the method is solid. I would swap out stone floor for fired tiles. You could just fire tiles for the purpose, then you have a flat floor that won't crack like stone.

    This is interesting because I actually overfired my test pieces in my first real pit fire attempt. My test piece melted, slumped, warped, bloated and blistered. I observed the piece glowing yellow, and I estimate that I got it to about 2,100 to 2,200 degrees F. Then I again, I was using forced air induction. I was blowing a fan into the air inlets at the bottom of my "pit" brick, open top fireplace. That was my problem. I was feeding too much air into the coals and fire making it burn too hot. In my subsequent testing, I didn't use forced air induction and my pieces seemed to fire around 1,800 to 2,000. They rang when I tapped them and have the beautiful terra cotta coloring, so they seemed to fire properly without forcing air into the inlets.

    Wouldn't it be faster to fill a pot with some water and ash, boil and strain? Another channel did that and made their soap right away from ashes in his bbq grill. He added a little salt to harden the bar

  • @annep.1905

    It would be faster, but it would take more work and use more resources. Unless you're trying to sell your soap, there should be no hurry. You can make quite a bit of lye water all at once, and then make enough soap to last you a year or more.
