Just a reminder and invitation to all to come and experiment with soapmaking on SUNDAY, Feb 26th. (I said the 25th in the Runestaff). Gerald has rendered and purified some fat (Actually, a lot of fat), and has both commercial lye and homemade from wood ashes. He will be experimenting to determine how concentrated the homemade lye needs to be to be equivalent to commercial, and will see if the "traditional" measurement of "floating an egg" is correct, as well as the effects of various additives. Come on down and try soap making this sunday.
