- This is what my actual process of soap making looks like. Even after 20 years of soapmaking, you can make a recipe you aren't super familiar with, and not have it come out right. This is part two of two videos (the first talking about all I've learned about soapmaking on the homestead).
Part 1, 20 Years of Soapmaking, Your Questions Answered is here: • 20 Years of Homestead ...
Always ALWAYS run any recipe you find through a lye calculator to double check the math before making your soap. Even recipes found in published books! If you change out ANY of the oils/fats in these recipes, RECALCULATE THE LYE AMOUNT!

This is great thanks for giving me your card ,I enjoyed sitting next to you today at the soap demo at Morder Homesteaders .
I loved this video
Thankyou again.
Extremely useful information.
Thank you for sharing.
Is it all right to mix pork fat and beef tallow in a recipe?
Yes, absolutely. But you would want to plug each one into your lye calculator as a separate entry. They have slightly different SAP values.
