Again this is my first attempt and I didn’t like it. I hated the smell of goat milk plus the smell of beef tallow but I wanted to finish them. Khun na (My friend) bought me 2 bottles of goat milk and I still have some beef tallow left from my zebra batch,so, I would like to finish them.
I put the goat milk in the freeze. When I poured a sodium hydroxide into the goat milk, the colour has changed to more brown. I assumed that my goat milk was burn as I studied from many sources.
I forgot to tell you that I added stearic acid in this batch,too. I seperated little bit of oil into a pitcher and added 2 % of stearic acid. I heated them on a double boiler and make sure that the stearic acid was melted. When I calculated this recipe from soapcalc.net,I also included stearic acid in the calculation.
This is a picture of soap after I poured and made some swirl on top. NOT A GOOD ONE. I used a devider to cut the soap.
I covered the soap with a lid.
I packed my goat milk saop in a post box. I bought this box from a post office and have no chance to use it yet and I wrapped with a thick blanket. This blanket, my mother in law made for me. It’s a handmade. Wow! I think she wanted me to cover myself at night but Thailand is very very very hot. So, I think it would be o.k to use with my soap.
This is a picture of soap after I took the devider out this morning.
After I cut, there’s a soda ash on top of soap. I rinse the soap with water and it’s gone. The problem is I think I cut them too early this morning. I should let them sit for another 2-3 hours but I couldn’t wait.
Thank you for reading

The milk won’t burn if you use frozen cubes of milk. (Use an ice cubes tray) Take them out of the freezer, add them to a glass container on the scale. Add the lye and gently mix until the milk is just about melted. Do not let any water get in the mixture, nor let the milk cubes start to melt before adding the lye. Your lye/milk will turn orange if you do either of those things. If done correctly, the lye/milk will stay white. You can see some pictures on my site of what it should look like. Go to http://www.shantara.wordpress.com I believe I filed it under the “soap” category. I only make goats milk soap, so I’ve had to practice A LOT! It’s really quite easy and the milk will never turn anything but white if done correctly. I made a pot of smelly orange burn goo once or twice. Yuk!
Good luck next time.

Thank you for your recommendation. I appreciate it. I give up making Goat Milk soap because it don’t turn out just like I want it to be. From what you say sounds easy and I will try one more time. Thank you
