Guest guest Posted February 6, 2000 Report Share Posted February 6, 2000 Hey , Yeah, I know I'm not one of the newbie goatsmilk soap makers - but I am fairly new at making the goatsmilk soap. Now, I have used cows milk and did the pasteurizing thing with that. I have learned - from the lists several different approaches for doing the milk soap. 1. Pour the lye directly into the slushy milk (as in frozen slushy, - VERY slowly though - because you don't want it to heat up and burn the milk - turn orange!! Bright yellow, from what I understand, is okay. 2. Do half water and half milk. Pouring the lye into the water and then the milk later before adding to the oils. 3. Half milk and half water - however in this method you pour the lye into the water - cool then mix with the oils and stir until trace (light) THEN add the milk. I have done my soaps all three ways - and I must say the last method is VERY nice, however, because I have used the milk only in my " scrubbie " soaps, it is hard to say how " smooth " it is. I want to try just a straight scented goatsmilk soap without all the " stuff " in it. HTH a Silver Creek Soap Co.
