Milk in HP soap

[Guest guest]

Had a terrible mess when I tried to make the HP enclosed method with oatmeal,

goatsmilk, and honey. Had to throw it in the garbage......yuck! I knew

goatsmilk turned orange, but this was brown and curdled. Can you use regular

powdered milk in HP? I do want to make some oatmeal, milk and honey soap the hp

way if I can. I plan on doing the CP, but want some now!!!!

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!

This will happen because you have two sources of sugar in the recipe: goat

milk and honey. The sugars will burn at high heat and turn dark tan/brown.

<Have you ever made caramel from boiling sugar water?>

The only way to avoid this is to do goats milk only with Cold Process method,

at lowest temps possible, and using the milk at a near-frozen ice-mush stage.

Also, after pouring into the mold, do NOT insulate the molds, as the heat

generated by the sugars in the milk and honey will will be sufficient to

complete the saponification.

Hmmm...well, I don't know about HP soap, as I've never made it. But, all I

make is goat's milk CP soap, and I add the milk at trace, warm the milk to

just above room temp, insulate the molds, and end up with a pure white bar of

soap. Guess it depends on the recipe....hey, whatever works!

Hi my name is Kim and I am fairly new to soap making.

I made a batch of milk soap 2 days ago. And I have a few questions ! My

soap smell 's of sour milk when I cut up the bars .Is this normal?

I also have some little orange spots in my soap ? What was that from?

the Honey?)

I used about 16 oz of cream, and 24oz of milk and 85 oz of fat.

I know I let the milk get to warm because it turned a orange color. I

didn't under stand what temp to keep the milk at. as I stirred The book

said not to let it get below 80 I took almost a hour to add the milk to the

lye ( And I still burned it )

What was your statement about adding milk at trace? I would be interested

in seeing that recipe?

Can any one help me? Please! Kim
