Lye Water Temperature 116ºF
Oil temperature 112ºF

We did experience a moderate amount of acceleration and saw some signs of ricing. The lye and oils quickly came to an emulsion and turned grainy as we brought it to a light trace. We continued stick blending to smooth out the texture but that also brought it to a very thick trace quickly. The batter did not seize, we were able to easily hand stir but it had to be plopped into the mold more so than poured. After 24 hours the scent was strong and the soap had discolored to a light tan. We did observe the interior area of the soap was very rough, almost as if it had overheated, but it had only reached a partial gel. The other thought was that maybe it had formed glycerin rivers. After 30 days the scent is still incredibly strong and the bars had discolored to a dark tan shade. It does appear that the soap started to form glycerin rivers and did not overheat in the mold.
