I threw away two loaves when they separated. I also have had mild separation. But nothing I have ever rebatched ever looked as bad as yours. So you’ve given me back faith in my abilities. I say this with thanks, to you for showing us how we can fail and can fix!❤️
Thank Youuuuuuu!!!! ❤ I made double the recipe for a 6.25 pound recipe and of course I forgot to double the lye amount 😑 so right now my loafs look like jello kinda see through and very oily. Oil just oozing out when I tried unmolding. So thank you for your video you give me hope to save what I can and don’t throw away all this costly material.
Soap making is one of the homesteading skills we are a little intimated to try...this was incredibly helpful...so when we do make soap we have one less way to fail 😂
I promise you it’s only intimidating at first. But after your very first time, the amount of pride you are filled with with shake off your fear. You can do it. ❤️
you made my day, thank you.
This is really helpful as I didn't know you could start rebatching immediately after the first process and didn't need to wait for it to solidify and grate. Thanks!
I don't make soap but I love homemade soaps. Well, I just learned something new, this fine morning. Have an amazing day and God bless.
I made a batch of 4 purple molds yesterday and I made a mistake with the amount of lye water. I did not put enough so my soap is too soft. I will definately melt it, add the missing amount of lye water and re-mold it and hope for the best. Thank you!! ❤
I've made lots of soap and never had an issue, but made soap today and had a super seize. I poured it and pushed it into a mold but it was horrible. I'm blaming it on the lye temperature was too high for the fragrance oil I was using. I'm hoping to save it somehow, it was a 14 pound batch. Thanks for letting me know it happens to all of us. I was pretty discouraged.
Thank you for posting this video! You SAVED my batch of soap. And, like you, I had used clove and orange oil. Never again. :(
I made soap yesterday! I wish we lived closer to y’all. We could be besties❤️🙏🏻 Have a blessed day
Thanks. This just happened to me I use essential oils eucalyptus, lemon, & peppermint. And it has a layer of oil 😳. It’s been 12 hr so far. Don’t look good. 😂
I’ve made two batches of soap so far and had to re batch both because they were so mushy 😩 I think I need to start using a different recipe. My first re batch turned out nice and I’m working on my second one now.
Have the same issue sometimes with cinnamon oil in a hard candy my family used to make annually for Christmas. The water/sugar/karo syrup mixture is heated to hard crack, color paste is then added and an flavor/scent oil mixed in well. Next pour out on a hot flat buttered griddle where on e person cuts chunks off as it begins to cool and set. 6 or so other women take those chunks and cut smaller. When done, you have a large bowl of colored broken glass looking hard candy. Each woman brings a quart mason jar with lid, a cookie sheet and kitchen scissors and takes home her tools and a share of the candy made. We always sent the men to watch a movie or game. Great fellowship time, but we usually had one or two batches with cinnamon that would refuse to set up.
Thanks for the tips Andrea we really appreciate it.
I love your educational videos such as this!
Great video, very well done and very pleasant to watch.
Thank you for sharing it. I found it helpful since I have a pot of soap ready for rebatching.
Today was my first time I made a cold process soap and it turned into mashed potatoes as soon as i started blended the lye and oils. I wanted to make a blend of white and pink swirls and it was a disaster. I came i across your video to see if i could still save my lumpy block that is still curring. Thanks for your video 😊
I enjoyed your video today about soap. Thanks for sharing you're good at what you do on the videos
I made soap yesterday for the first time and this happened, so I really appreciate the help in fixing it! I need to take a few breaths and get it in the crock pot :/ God bless you :)
You’re welcome!! You can do it!
I’m just waiting for that to happen to me. Thank for the info!
well if you can make a mess I can usually do that. Thanks for showing how to fix it. I have not seen a liquid soap rebatched. very nice video.
Now I know how those homemade soaps are made. Awesome
I find soap making fascinating. I have used goat milk soap; however, I was unaware it came from cow's milk as well.
I didn't even know there was milk in it!
Woow thank you so much your Explanation was just clear and beautifull .lam going to rebatch mine too
Great video, I haven't tried to make soap but it's on my list. I'm pretty sure I will be referring back to this video.
Would love to see a whole soap making video some time. Love your channel😊
Thanks, Andrea! This hasn't happened to me yet, but it's inevitable that it will. Now I know what to do when it happens.
Good to know,Thank you!
You are so interesting to watch Andrea!😄❤
Awesome video.
Always nice to know if there is a method to recover when things don't go to plan.
Thank you so much! This happen to me and I didn’t know what I did wrong! You wouldn’t believe I use the same essential oils that you mentioned. You just helped me out a whole lot!
the change of the season is killing me! I have had "soft" batches so many times in the past month and I don't get it. I'm gonna have to switch up my recipe. Thanks for this!
Good tips thank you very much.
Now you’ve got me in the mood to make some soap! Thanks for sharing on how to rebatch. Haven’t had to do it this far but I’m sure it will happen one day. Lol 😂
This just happened to me!!! Thankyou for this!! I like the primitive look! It definitely has it's place in home soap making.
Thank you ❤
Great advise
Would love to see a video of you making soap. I've wanted to make but haven't yet
Well I was intimidated by soap making but I was also intimidated by rendering lard. Today I am in the process of rendering lard from the hog we bought and had butchered thanks to your video and the one Sarah from Living Traditions made. I am much older than you both but you ladies are teaching me new things all the time. May try soap sometime.
My lard turned out great milky white.
I got home just in time to see one of my favorite channel
Thank you so much for this info, I just experienced for the first time the volcano on a batch of cold processed soap 😱, it’s in the crockpot now, hope I can save it
Thank you really
Thank you!!!
Thank you
Great video!
Not oily pockets. That is glycerin. Just a few times it has happened to me too. Enjoy your blessed day..................... Love, in Pennsylvania
This video was so helpful! I just made a batch yesterday and used fragrance oils for the first time. I had no idea this would hyper-accelerate my trace and give me a false trace. I was left with a very oily, soft bar. I will try rebatching for the first time!
Thank you for sharing. I have my first batch that I didn’t cut well that I’d like to re-batch. I’m so new to the soap making world but hope in time I can also be able to sell my creations as in time also help others. God Bless
I use the leftover piece’s that are too small to wash our face with ( each person has a jar to put the piece’s in) so each person gets a special soap with the smells they like. So this is great and appreciated I’m learning to make soap w fire ash, which is another traditional way of making soap. I adding on natural herbs and dried flowers, natural pigment colors like which adds earthly color a tad extra coconut oil and essential oil’s for each person.( in case you were concerned about using soap by another person lol we each have a marked jar to collect piece’s for re-batching❤ this was very s informative thank you
Thank you so much I have subscribed and saved this invaluable information. Much appreciated
thank you!
Your video really help me because I most definitely had a fail and I believe I used to much soap by accident due to distraction. SMH thanks
You are a wealth of knowledge sweetie! Appreciate your willingness to share all your works. Thanks bunches!!!!
Thank you ~ I need to rebatch my first attempt at cold process soap and I am doing my research 🙃
Woooo Pig! Soooie!
Great video
Fantastic video. thanks. I added color to single oil soap it didn't saponify. I used coconut oil about 2520 grams with 60 % lye solution
i dont make soap yet but i think i would like to try morning honey glad to see u today
Interestingly, the few times I've worked with essential oils, when I've had irritated skin, seems clove was around, didn't touch the oil of course, but I have always blamed clove essential oil that itchy skin.
Thankyou. Very helpful. I am about to rebatch. I prefer your rustic rebatch. It looks like art, not a mistake correction
Thank you!
You just helped me figure out why my cinnamon orange soap wouldn’t harden! It’s the cinnamon essential oil! Thank you
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing this! You’re saving me a double batch of triple cream goats milk soap😔
27 June 2021 .. thanks. Just made a new batch that didn't work, after at least 10 batches that DID work.
This what I searched for!. I made my soap this evening and found some small bubbles in dough. I'm looking up for the rebatching method but every video is all about grated the solidified soap and not mention the cons for rebatching.
I don't have problem about trace, but the bubbles. I think for smooth one, but now I think it still ok with some bubbles since the rebatching give bubbles as well
I would love to make my own soap. It is not in the cards for me. Love and Hugs from Sapulpa Oklahoma
Had clove and orange in mine... same problem
I understand NOTHING about making soap. But this was a very interesting video. May need to try my hand at soap making sometime.
I just started have a go it’s so much fun and I gave some pretty basic soaps sitting curing.
This just happened to me for the first time. It was greasy like I'd never added the lye. Full grease loaf. I just learned from Soaping101 channel, that some oils are unsaponifiable, I did not know that, and I used hemp oil for the first time and at 20%!! Maybe it would be alright at a lower percentage. I did run my recipe through soapcalc, too, I don't think it's programmed for unsaponifiable oils. This is a new thing for me, never used fancy oils for me, I'm pretty simple with soapmaking up to now lol!
yes I never try and alter recipes for this reason. Not that it is wrong to do, I am just afraid of losing all my ingredients.
My soap I had everything correct measurement wise however I had a false trace so I have pockets of heavy lye and oils that hadn't fully mixed. Would this work rebatching do I need to mix to trace again while it's hot and how long is cure time?
Question... when everything was melted... in stead of staring it ..could you stick blended?
Hi Andrea. Gosh, when that had all melted in the crockpot, it looked like a beautiful gravy as you were stirring it.
You are so knowledgeable Andrea.
I enjoy your videos so much!
Do you sell/ship your soaps? I would be interested in buying some.
Have a blessed day. ❤️🙏
Yes. I’ve sold it online before, and am trying to make enough so that it will be available in our future store
Thanks for your video. It's given me confidence to rebatch some of my 'fails'. Curious at the stage before you're pouring it into the molds...could I pulse it with the stick blender to perhaps get a smoother texture? Thanks :)
You can use the stick blender but you will get air bubbles in it.
This literally just happened to me on my very first batch ever and rice is a great way to describe it. I glooped in into the molds anyway and then put in fridge. Now it looks like cottage cheese but firm with oily residue in the bottom of the mold. I'm thinking a rebatch in the crockpot might just help to pull it all back together. My lye solution with the goat milk turned out so great but the other oils were the problem and I hadn't even added the scented oil in yet. The batch was gritty and gross. I threw it all together and into the mold anyway. I will now throw it inti the crockpot and see what happens as it was a 5 pound batch! :O Thank you so much, fingers crossed for something a little better than what I have now. :)
Yes! I don’t ever want to waste ingredients
Awesome
Hi, Andrea! I sometimes make soap with a friend of mine .So the day before yesterday, we tried to make a batch using coconut milk instead of water, but we didn't freeze the milk and when we added the lye ,I think it scorched as it looked like spoilt milk. The temperatures were right, and decided to go ahead anyway. When we combined the lye to the oils, it became ricy ,with a lot of clumps and a lot of oils separated.We mixed only a little as it became stiff right away,but we put it in the mold anyway. We also mixed an avocado in the oils beforehand. We also added cucumber fragrance oil. What do you think happened? Could it be fixed using HP method? It is now in the mold with a a lot of seperated oils....😢
Could you share the recipe? Its so interesting. I would love to make my own soap! Thanks for sharing your videos!
czcams.com/video/Q8kTgBMgfFs/video.html 😊
Interesting
I did 2 batches, neen and noni, they did set but there was so much oil on top which never happened when I used Bells Chemicals lye. But now am using Red Crown, I am having few problems.
It could be the brand of lye but it also could be if the neen and Noni if those are sents. Sometimes different sents react differently. I’m not sure what those are though.
thank you for the video, i use those same molds but never have enough to fill one, what size batch do you use and do you have a recipe to share?
I make a batch that is 54 ounces coconut oil and 24 ounces of water and it will fill two of them almost to the top. Check out our playlist here for recipes. czcams.com/play/PLgwqK7BvcfDlKMBWt3bccCyCLIfm8ljNo.html
Interesting....I have never attempted making soap....I would like to....the lye always scares me and holds me back.... maybe u already have but if u haven't it would be interesting to watch and learn from start to finish how u make soap.
Oh I know Ben asked on a live about if we r more apt to buy from ur store or online....I would buy online ,👍
I agree with you Vivian .... would love a video on how she makes soap .... I too am scared of lye ... so I buy melt and pour and make it that way. Years ago I was going to take a weekend course on soap making at the John Campbell Folk School in NC but just couldn’t afford it .... on the bucket list !!!! Have a blessed day !
@@anitahamrick1219 😉 You have a Blessed day too 👍
@@anitahamrick1219 she has 4 videos about how to make goat/cow soap. Just search and they will be listed.
Gypsy Lady thank you so much !!!
@@anitahamrick1219 your welcome and good luck with your soap making!
Can u do a video on the whole process? I’m interested in making some
Here’s a playlist of our soap making

VW Family Farm ty so much
Hi!,when lye is heavy and i want to do rebatching,do i have to add some ingredient in it?
No just heat and pour
What if I didn’t wait long enough for my lye to cool within 10 degrees of my oils? It ended up looking like applesauce and now that it’s hard it’s very oily.
Assuming I’m correct and the temperature is where I went wrong then could I just crock pot rebatch without adding anything?
yes rebatch. getting the temps closer together is very important
I wish I came across this before one ended up in the bin
do you think it's a good idea to stick blend again after melting it to try to get a smoother consistency?
You could. I never have. Let me know if you do!
Have you thought of using a wire cheese slicer to trim off the top of your re batched soap to make it smooth? Could you not then use the cut off bits and make a liquid soap? Just wondering
You could trim it off to make it smooth but you couldn’t make something that would stay a liquid.
Rebatching for the same mistake.... Usted bergamot... But Rebatching aparently saved it
I do not see your link for the mold
Can I add camel or goat milk powder as additive when rebatching a soft oil heavy soap lot? I tried making one with higher amount of soft oils to see how it turns out but even after a week it's still a bit soft .... I can press into it and leave a dent.
I have never added anything when rebatching.
I believe I used to much oil & butters maybe not enough lye water, can I still take this approach and can I do it in a double boiler instead of a crockpot
The lye to oil ratio is very specific. I have never tried a double boiler so I hope it works!
@@VWFamilyFarm thanks I used the crockpot
We plan on making goat milk soap one day. This is some good info for sure! Have you found a big difference between a goats milk/cows milk soap?
We just use cows milk because Emily is allergic to goats milk.
@@VWFamilyFarm Ok, thank you !!
Do you allow the remelted mixture to cool before placing in the soap molds?
No.
That would be a bad idea :D
I rebatch when I use lye made from ash.
Nice's
Hi. My bars are way to soft. Very soft. I just put them on the cooker like you did. Should that be enough? Or what should I add?
I don’t add anything. Just melt, stir, and repour.
@@VWFamilyFarm thanks so much for answering!!!❣
Mine is like a soft peanut butter fudge and I'm pretty sure it's because we put the lye in to hot it was 160 degrees
It actually turned out to get firmer I hadn't waited 24 hours but I still made a bunch of rebatch and I got it to the silky I did small batches
The soap you sent us previously had cinnamon. Not sure if that helps or not.
Very helpful. But what if I don't know the mistake?
Rebatching fixes most mistakes.
@@VWFamilyFarm Interesting
Can you use a lemon peels instead of orange peels? Thank you.
Yes
When you are rebatching, do you insulate your soap?
No, I don’t.
