GOAT'S MILK SOAP

Goat Milk Soap Recipe #1

 

This size recipe can be mixed with the electric mixer. The recipe can be

doubled and mixed by hand with a wooden paddle. Have ready an electric

mixer and 2 large bowls, stainless or glass (not plastic).

 

Mold: Can use styrofoam or an old cake pan. Have a piece of cloth ready

to put on top of the soap and a lid to put on top of the cloth. Can be

wrapped with a blanket or towels for insulation. (note from steve: I use

glass casserole dishes well greased with vaseline. Don't try to grease

with oil, as it will saponify! Clear plastic candy molds make nice

little soaps, too.)

 

Fat: 1.5 lb melted fat (tallow, lard, tallow/lard mixture. Lard can be

purchased in 1lb boxes.) Clarified fat, mixed pork and beef. If the fat

has burned particles in it or is rancid, it can be clarified by boiling

it up in a large pan with about a quart of water and then cooling it and

scooping the clean fat off the top. The impurities settle to the bottom

in the water.

 

Measure 1/2 can lye (6.5 ounces). Handle with great care. Pour into a

paper cup. Make sure the lid is securely back on the lye can. Put 3 cups

goat milk in stainless steel mixer bowl. Pour the lye in slowly, running

the mixer on low. It will get hot and the milk turns golden as the

chemical reaction takes place. Cool until about 85 degrees. May use

dairy thermometer.

 

2 tsp Borax

1 cup baby oatmeal

2 ounces glycerin

 

This can be stirred in while the lye and milk mixture is cooling. It is

not necessary to stir the whole time. Watch the temperature of 1.5

pounds of fat. Fat should also be at about 85 or 90 degrees. If you have

to heat it to melt, make sure it has cooled again. Run the mixer on low

for about 15 minutes, then turn off and let soap rest 5 minutes; run 5

minutes and rest 5 minutes. Repeat this and watch closely because soap

will suddenly take consistency and must be poured into the mold. Pour

when ready; smooth top surface and keep mold at even temperature for

about 24 hours. Cloth can then be peeled off and bars can be cut with a

serrated knife or scored and

broken.

 

Aging: Age the soap for at least a month, unwrapped. It is better if it

ages 2 or 3 months. Failures sometimes occur. Sometimes melting the soap

on a very low heat and stirring it some more is all that is necessary to

make it set.

 

A few suggestions: I always double the recipe so that I can use the

whole can of lye and I can also buy 3 pound block of lard. I mix the lye

and milk. Then I put in the block of lard and stir until it has melted.

I powder regular oatmeal in the blender. I add it some baking soda and

glycerin to the mixture. I stir about 5 or 10 minutes. I stick my

thermometer in. It is usually about 120 degrees. I go about my business

for an hour or so and then come back. When it is around 90 degrees I

stir for 15 minutes, rest 5, stir 5 and so on. When the spoon can stand

up in the middle of the bowl by itself I start spooning it in the molds.

Basic Goat Milk and Honey Soap #2

 

13 cups lard or rendered fat (6.5 pounds)

1 can red Devil lye

1/2 cup honey

4 cups goat milk

1 cup hot water

 

Into a large stainless steel or enamel container, dissolve the honey

into the hot water. Add the 4 cups goat milk, stir to mix well and

slowly add the lye to the milk/honey mixture. This will get very hot.

Let it set until it cools down to 75 degrees. This could take an hour or

more. When the lye mixture reaches 75 degrees, warm the lard to 85

degrees and pour in a slow steady stream into the lye/milk mixture. Stir

constantly until the mixture reaches the consistency of honey. This will

take 20 or 30 minutes.

 

When thick as honey pour into prepared molds. Allow to set for 24 to 48

hours. Unmold and cut into bars. Air-dry the soap for 4-5 weeks to cure it.

Oatmeal & Honey Goat Milk Soap #3

 

6 cups goat milk

4 cups lard (2 pounds)

2/3 can Red Devil brand lye

2 cups dry oatmeal (run through the blender)

1/2 cup honey

 

Carefully mix the milk and lye in a stainless container. Allow to cool

to 85 degrees. Stir in the refined oatmeal and honey. Mix well. Warm

lard to 85 degrees and slowly add to milk mixture. Mix for 15 minutes,

let stand 5 minutes. Mix again for 5 minutes. Watch closely as soap

takes shape suddenly. When thick like honey pour into prepared molds.

Let set 24-48 hours until set. Cut into bars and air cure for 3 to 4 weeks.

 

I made the above one over the weekend. I used my regular recipe

(doubled) and added about 3/4 cup of honey. I did it the way I normally

do. I left it to set and checked on it about every 15 minutes. The last

time I checked it it had almost hardened in the bowl. It did do okay

though and I managed to pour it into a large pan.
