Thanks Jenn for the great recipe! Just a thought, you can put your jar of frozen milk cubes in an ice bath while dissolving the lye. This lowers the "burning" of your milk and it will be whiter. It's just an aesthetic thing
I get beef suet from the grocery store and render it myself; after rendering twice it is almost odorless. When my soap is done there's no scent unless I add it. It really makes nice soap, and body butter 😉
Hi Jenn, thank you so much for sharing. I took a 3-4 hr ( group) class last yr and wasn’t confident/ comfortable to make it on my own, but thanks to you I’m feeling so much more confident now. ☺️💕💗
If I were to add honey to the recipe, maybe around 1oz, would that affect the hardness of the soap at all? Looking to follow a recipe similar to this with a honey lemon scent
There are a few things to consider when adding honey. One is that the extra sugar along with the milk could make the batch very hot. Here is a great article on adding honey to soap. You may want to read it over and decide how much honey and when to add it! www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/tips-and-tricks/adding-honey-to-cold-process-soap-tips-tricks-recipe/
From what I've read coconut oil is pretty unique. The closest substitute would be babassu. I don't know anything about that oil as I haven't used it. You would need to redo the recipe and change it out in a lye calculator to see how you need to adjust the lye amount.
Thank you for sharing your recipe. Did you use milk from your farm? How much milk and lye did you use? We have a small herd of grass fed cows that I will be rendering tallow from. Headed over to watch your video on rendering tallow.
Yes, I used milk from our cow! I would recommend straining some of the cream off the milk and using as that seems to want to burn in the sodium hydroxide. The amounts are in the video and I have a detailed blog post on this as well. theeverydayfarmhouse.com/cows-milk-and-tallow-soap-recipe-cold-process/
Hi!!! I have a friend that asked me if I could make soap using her breast milk. Do you think I could replace cow’s milk in your recipe for human’s milk? 🤣
I have a book on soapmaking with milk and she states that yes you can use human milk to make soap. It is higher in fat than cow's or goat's milk. It also contains a lot of sugar, and vitamins A,C, D and E. Follow the basic instructions as you would for any other milk soap. Freeze the milk first and keep the superfat below 10%
Just foun your videos and blog and subscribed. Didn't know you use music extensively in your videos, while talking, blaring when not talking. I've given up on channels like this. Sorry, unsubscribed.
Love how white it came out with no titanium dioxide love it

Great tip! Thank you!

Yes! I have a blog tutorial on rendering tallow and it comes out odorless! Thank you! Tallow is so good!
Another great soap tutorial! Thanks Jenn!
Thank you for your video, I live un a farm too, I want to try it

Beautiful 😊
Me gusta tu receta! Muy buena! Saludos desde Chihuahua, México 😊
I’m so grateful to have found your channel! 🙏🏼 could you please let me know how many ounces of the fragrance oil you added? Thank you so much ❤
I love your channel. I’m new to cold press and you explain everything very clearly. I’m going to try your shea soap first in a couple weeks.
Hello, how much milk you used for this batch?

What is a good substitute for the coconut oil? I have a life threatening allergy.

Babassu is a very skin nutrient oil but expensive. I've used it and loved it. Can't afford it often!

Here is the post on rendering tallow. Also it was 10.23 oz milk (frozen) and 4.58 oz sodium hydroxide (lye)
Can I use only tallow and milk?
You would have to use a lye calculator to see how much lye you would need.
what is the measurement of frozen milk and lye?
It's all in the description and the blog post
I'm new to this channel and soap making. What is the measurement for the milk?
10.23 oz
Can you substitute lard for tallow? With this resipe?
You would need to run that change through a lye calculator to make sure the lye amount doesn't change before you substitute it.
Do we need to do a ph test? If so at what point does this need to be done?
thank you
I don't do a ph test
@@theeverydayfarmhouse8722 thank you
How much essentials oil show I add?
1.5-2 oz
Goat milk do I use water discount for powdered goat milk?
I have never used a powdered milk and cannot advise on that
i add powdered goat milk to the oils and blend it in well then add lye water no discount

@@theeverydayfarmhouse8722 okay! Thank you so so much! ❤
Do you sell your soap bars?
No, I don't. Thank you
As a soap maker I am scared using tallow
I think the angle of the camera is a bit high.
