We experienced a moderate amount of acceleration but no separation. During our initial stick blending, the area directly under the blender became very thick before the remainder of the oils and water had emulsified. We alternated between hand stirring and quick pulses of the stick blender until the entire pot came to trace. This caused the batter to reach a medium trace by the time all the oils and water came together. The batter remained workable and did not stiffen while pouring into the mold. After 24 hours, we did not observe any signs of the soap going into a gel phase. The soap had a very light yellow discoloration and the scent was strong with a sophisticated red wine and berry character. After 30 days, the soap had discolored to a light tan shade and the scent remained strong and true. We recommend hand stirring in the fragrance after any color is fully mixed.
