We experience a moderate amount of acceleration and a slight amount of separation and ricing. Once we add the lye water to the scented oils we were able to hand stir the batter to a stable emulsion and found it was turning a greyish color. We used a few pulses of the stick blender to bring the batter to a light trace and found that it was turning red. As we reached a light trace the batter became grainy and chunks were forming. We hand stirred to smooth this out then quickly poured the soap into the mold. After 24 hours we observed the bars had reached a full gel and discolored to a caramel color. The scent was strong and true to the out of bottle character. After 30 days, the soap discolored to a brown shade and the scent was strong.
