Here you go!I was looking for it didnt see it
I got three batches. Two identical soaps with different scenting and one experiment where I turned a block of cheapest frying fat into soap, which actually worked quite well. I made the mistake to package of in a plastic freezer bag, now it's almost completely oxidised but still cleans fine.Man no one updated that in a long time
Here is my currect curing rack
I'm on batch 25 i think. Mostly boring unscented stuffI got three batches.

What fat did you use?I got three batches. Two identical soaps with different scenting and one experiment where I turned a block of cheapest frying fat into soap, which actually worked quite well.

It's an mix of plant based oils with undefined proportions, rape seed and Palm oil.What fat did you use?
Man don't even start thinking about growing your own mushrooms
And thisi'm just posting in this thread to ask a question... soap is just a sodium salt?
Do not. Golden Oyster tastes like crap. It was my first homegrown mushroom, really easy to grow, and BEAUTIFUL to look at, seriously, they look AMAZING. Just like a yellow space plant from mars.lol, i still need to get a golden oyster culture....it's on the do list...

And then I fried it and... urgs... not good.
Go for other oysters, I am currently growing pale oyster (just inocculated the bags this morning) and I am also trying elm oyster (inocculated yesterday). These should be farely easy to grow as well but also taste good. Oyster is a solid beginners choice... although my first real success was with shiitake, but I have honestly no idea why .
No Problem. There are multiple oysters that love the heat. Summer oyster, Pink Oyster... and probably all the oysters that not specifically need the cold.room temp is 80f year round here though.....
I'd like to see some of those.for my calculations and have quite a few recipes posted there.

I use the soapcalc website and the soaponify app
I got into it. For 2 weeks. In that time, I made a lifetime amount of soap. Srsly, I still use soap from then. I bought a bunch of fragrances and mica colorants, but by the time it all arrived, I had all the soap I needed. In a few years, I might run out, then I'll get back into it again.
My first batch, I followed a recipe. This was before there were soapmaking software programs on the internet. I followed the recipe exactly for goat’s milk soap (I had gallons of goat’s milk so decided it sounded like a good idea).
You really have no idea how many bars of soap 7 pounds of soap is. I think I used the last of that batch in about 2018 or so. But I can’t help it- I have to make MORE. Luckily, a well made soap doesn’t go bad!
