@jett – Yep, I’ve done it that way too. By freezing the milk though, I can use all goat’s milk for the liquid portion of my soap and it won’t overheat.

You can add the milk a little later in the process, by mixing the lye/water to the oils, hand stir for a few minutes, then add the milk. I’ve used this process and it seems to work well, though it will still heat up quite a bit.

When I first made soap, no one told me that I should try regular cp before making goat’s milk soap.
So, I jumped in with both feet, and never looked back. Only when I got involved in some soaping sites, did I learn that goats milk soap was supposedly difficult. I’ve never had it burn the milk, I have had it turn it a bright yellow.

@Cindy – If you like to use half water, half goat’s milk, then freeze the water and goat’s milk in ice cube trays, and add the lye to the frozen milk & water. Once all the milk & water is melted, you can add it to the oils and blend.

Hi
Thank you for your information about how to make handmade goat milk soap. I’ve been trying to make handmade goat milk soap for the last 4-5 months. I used half water and half milk to get the color I wanted. I let the oils cool down with room temparature and cool lye solution. I pured the cool milk to the oil and the lye solution which was dissolved with water to the oil and I use strick blender to mix it.
The result was I got lye granule flying around my large 3 batches ( 12 lbs batches ). It wasn’t my measurement and I was not because sodium hydroxide didn’t dissolve completely because it happened with all 3 batches. Do you know why? How can I solve this problem?

Thank you for your help
Cindy

Hey Elizabeth – I would definitely make regular CP soap with water before attempting a goat’s milk batch just so you know what it “looks like”. Let me know if you have any questions about either process, k?
