I used this batch size in each mixer. I have 6 quart mixers and this is a happy batch size.

56 grams Tapioca Starch (Amazon)
112 grams SLSa (Two Wild Hares)
15 grams Apricot Oil & Avocado Oil Mixture (Wholesale Supplies Plus)
35 grams Bramble Berry Fragrance (Bramble Berry)
10 grams 91% Rubbing Alcohol (Grocery Store)
12 grams Polysorbate 80 (Bramble Berry)
1000 grams Citric Acid Powder (Wholesale Supplies Plus)
Colors used:

Purple Batch - About 1/4 tsp Red 27 Lake plus a pinch of Blue 1
Pink Batch - About 1/2 tsp Red Lake with a teeny bit of Blue 1
A little more info about ingredients:
*SLSa - Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is a sulfate free surfactant. It is derived from coconut and palm and is gentle and mild. It is Eco Certified. The coarse powder does not need to be ground but does have a larger particle size that helps to keep the powder less airborne than the fine. I only buy from Two Wild Hares as this is my preferred SLSa.
*Polysorbate 80 is an emulsifier. This helps to incorporate the oils and colors into the bath water without floating on the surface. This also helps to prevent micas/colors from leaving a ring on the tub...and you!
*You can buy your tapioca starch from your chosen supplier. I just buy mine from Anthony's Organic on Amazon in a pinch.
*You can use any light oil that you desire. You may need to tweak your recipe a little bit just depending.
*Pay attention the to IFRA usage rates for the fragrance you choose. You may need to adjust usage from the 48 grams.
*Citric Acid Powder - I buy mine from Wholesale Supplies Plus. It really is superior in my opinion. I've gotten some really chunky 'fine' citric from other suppliers. This makes the bath bomb look bumpy.
I find the powder is best.
*Colors - I like to use Lakes for multi-color batches. For solid color batches, I use Dyes (water soluble) mixed into the 2 TBSP water before adding to the baking soda. These can be sensitive to alcohol so the color may change slightly.
*The baggies I use are size 2.5 x 2 x 6. I bought mine at Nashville Wraps. I am looking for biodegradable cello in the same same.
B-3 BOMBER BATH BOMB PRESS - This press is amazing! I use the 2.5 inch sphere mold the most. In full disclosure, I was gifted this machine back in January of 2019. The exchange was to show the machine and how it works and to just enjoy it. That's it! I fulfilled all obligations a while ago! However, I love this machine and want to shout it from the roof tops! I also love supporting other small businesses, especially when the product is of great quality. I am very grateful and I feel this product is superbly made. Note that we purchased the air compressor, hoses, dials, additional molds, etc., on our own. Head over to bathbombmachine.com to learn more.
I HIGHLY recommend Amanda Aaron's book Fun in the Tub as a guide for creating various bath products.
