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!

Tröegs HopBack Amber Ale Soap

Something old with something new.  I used my favorite goat milk recipe and made adjustments to create an autumn version.  This blend of oils is enhanced by essential oils of allspice, anise, cinnamon, patchouli and orange with actual coarse-ground whole cloves mixed with ground cinnamon and spent grain from Tom's homebrew.  Wow!

12.5 oz. Olive Oil
12.5 oz. Palm Oil
10 oz. Coconut Oil
5 oz. Sweet Almond Oil

17.5 oz. Tröegs HopBack Amber Ale
5.5 oz. Sodium Hydroxide

1 Tbsp Essential Oils (Allspice, Anise, Cinnamon, Patchouli, Orange)

1 Tbsp coarse-ground whole Cloves
2 Tbsp spent grain
1 Tbsp Vitamin E Oil
1 tsp ground Cinnamon
