About Me

My photo
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!

Spicy Beer & Butter Bar

Using the same recipe as the Beer & Butter Bar, I've changed only the essential oil blend to create this new version that features a combination of shea and cocoa butter along with 5 vegetable oils, spent grain, and essential oils of allspice, anise, cinnamon, patchouli and orange!  Enjoy!

18 oz.  Olive Oil
18 oz.  Coconut Oil
18 oz.  Palm Oil
5.1 oz. Castor Oil
3.2 oz. Safflower Oil
1.2 oz. Shea Butter
  .6 oz. Cocoa Butter

24 oz.  Samuel Adams East West Kölsch Beer
  9 oz.  Sodium Hydroxide

  2 oz.   Essential Oils (Allspice, Anise, Cinnamon, Patchouli, Orange)
   .5 oz.  Vitamin E oil
1/2  C.  Spent Grain

I used the square cake pan mold with the milk carton molds for the extra.
I didn't fill the cake pan to the top as I search for the perfect shape for a nice 4 oz. bar of soap.
