This double bock beer is quite hearty and dark in color. I searched for just the right combination of essential oils and am pleased with the combination. But I decided to try a "crisco" recipe and am not pleased with the consistency of the soap at pouring. Time will tell how it will turn out in the end. Tom helped me with a new mold format and we used a 2" PVC pipe this time.
7.5 oz. Coconut Oil
7.5 oz. Olive Oil
15 oz. Crisco (hydrogenated soybean oil with palm oil)
11.4 oz Troegs Troegenator beer
4.2 oz. Sodium Hydroxide
1.8 oz. Essential Oils (mixture of Sandalwood, Sage, Petitgrain, Clove and Patchoili)
Love the smell and color of this combination. Seems a bit lumpy in consistency at pouring.
About Me
- Lori Jo
- I have a wonderful family who supports my many hobbies including singing, soapmaking, wine tasting and rabbits. I recently retired from teaching English as a Second Language and love to travel. I started making soap in 1999 when we were showing goats in milk as a 4-H project. All of my soaps are made with pure oils and no animal fats. All fragrances are from essential oils. Store-bought "soap" is really a detergent. My soap will leave your skin clean and moisturized. Try some!
