i have to say after all these years making hot processes when it does that eruption i get excited and i do a small batch of hot process to make soap paste and liquid soap. yes i got super excited seeing it do that. i have to say too your brother is awesome! just tilt and pull out! that makes life so much easier!
I really enjoyed your video and watching this process. Very interesting! I watched a couple of your other videos and noticed you also make cold process soap. Do you prefer hot process for certain recipes? I’ve been wanting to try it for essential oil soaps since the fragrance is added at the end.
@@countrylathersoapworks I spent a little time making soap for a business. For it I bought several identical cheap stick blenders. They had enough power just not enough duty cycle. 3 stick blenders was what I needed for a 10kg batch to not burn out the motors. Cost me all of 30$ (looks like 40$ would do it now) Once the soap hits a certain viscosity a bit after trace, the effective area being stirred is pretty small, and around then a paddle becomes more efficient. For soaps that try to seize like pine tar a paddle was required since the stick blender was useless after about 20 seconds. This could also be my soap base I use castor oil (emollient) base rather than olive oil. I don't like the smell of olive oil soaps. when oven processing If you can seal your heating vessel you can save on the expensive ingredient of smell. (non metallized turkey oven bag) I never used more than about 1oz of essential oil for a 10kg batch. like 3/4 oz of mentha piperita oil, or 1oz pimenta racemosa essential oil in a 10kg batch.
Saw you at the conference but did not get to speak to you. I have never tried this HP method myself. I also use a very steep WD for all my soaps, Enjoyed the video .
Greetings Mrs. Jessie I recently bought a high powered 21" stick blender from Vevor for under $200....great quality and well worth the investment. For the amount of soap you make I believe it would save you a lot of unnecessary hard work and time.
I’m considering making soap at home and have watched quite a few videos, but I’ve never seen the mix erupt before. Can you please tell me why it did that. Thanks in advance.
This is a different method than most soapers use. It’s called the high temp hot process method. It erupts because of the oils being so hot and adding the lye solution fresh and hot.
I have only made hot process in a crockpot and Love it. I want to make bigger batches. What size pot would you recommend for a 10lb and 20 lb batch? Love your videos ❤ or what would you say the rule of thumb is for sizing your pot? Double the size of the batter? Or triple the size?
I use a 50 quart for 30 lbs and the eruption gets pretty close to the top so I would recomend a 50 quart for the 20 lbs batch. It doesn’t hurt if you have plenty of head room.
so take some hot water and dump lye into it... stir around for a time and add a couple other mystery ingredients and you got soap. Serve with a topping of yougurt... going to go try it..
