Playing catch up with Goats Milk

*waves* Hey y'all! It's been quite a weekend for us here. My work bench came in so I spent most of yesterday organizing the shop. By the time I was done I was ready for bed.
Ok so I did an unscented goats milk soap batch using frozen goats milk cubes. It turned out to be quite interesting. :) It's show and tell time!!
Frozen goats milk cubes, yum!
Added lye and stir stir stir

Adding the lye milk to my oils and butters

Blending it to where its close to trace
Pouring it into a pyrex for easier pouring into the small molds

Have hit trace, and getting ready to pour

I really love this mold :)
Unmolded and stacked to cure!
The interesting thing about this is the fact that the temps when I mixed them were at very low temps. I was worried that they were not going to be hot enough, but they quickly set. No superheating either!! They also lightened a great deal after drying. These bars came out so creamy, and better than the first goats milk batch that I did. :) Very pleased! I am looking forward to using this after cure time is done. :)
Onto the next batch!
