Nancy Dozier's Soap Recipe
Nancy Dozier's General Adams Beer Bar (4.25lb/1.927kg)
I hope uniformity is not a requirement! I never imagined that it would be so hard to cut these things to a specific weight.
I chose my beer bar because it really is "My Latest Creation". It is already in demand and people are waiting for it to dry. I have only given away, and sold a few, sample bars. The name came from the little country store where I buy feed and such, along with my beer (only for my soap, just to make tha clear), Adams General Store. (I do CP but it should work in HP, don't you think?)
Beer soap will tend to seize rather quickly. I tried a higher temp (135¼F/60¼C), and although I still had to work fast, it didn't go as fast as it had been with the batches I did at lower temps. Use flat beer or you will have a dangerous foaming mess!
