Make Multiple Soap Batches in One Session (my tips and tricks)

Soap making can be lots of fun, but making multiple batches in one session can be daunting! In this video I’ll demonstrate how I go about making four batches of soap in one morning session, including all the preparation, recipes and the complete process from start to finish!

The written details for these recipes are here:

I hope you enjoy the video. I nearly wasn’t going to record this, it was just a regular soap making day at my house - but I’m glad I did! I hope it will appeal to the soap makers out there who are getting more serious about their craft and want to learn some tips on making multiple batches more efficiently. These are fairly straightforward ‘everyday’ soap recipes, using the room temperature cold process method.

Wow, 4 batches of soaps and the bread?! You are truly a great multi-tasker!!! Like you, I make soaps for myself and loved ones. There are lots soap makers out there with the fancy swirls and techniques. However, I can relate to your videos the most. Love all the colors and scents and thanks the recipes!!!

Hi, Ma'am, enjoyed every bit of this video. It was so satisfying and soothing when you were cutting the bars and even arranging on the curing racks. I too keep the utensils for one day until the raw batter turns into soap then wash. But here I would like to share a tip with you that...I use a towel to wipe off the batter from all the equipment we use and keep that towel for one day then wash along with other clothes in the washing machine. Especially when you are using fragrance oils. (Please do not try this method if:-- baby clothes are there / too much micas or glitters or charcoal mixed in the batter / if the batter is unscented.) Jugs and cups all will be very clean when we use towel than tissues. And thereby we can avoid using tissue papers a lot. I have seen many soap makers using lots of tissue paper in one batch of soap making. All these are my experience and a gentle suggestion. Please ignore if not interested. Your soap bars look very perfect . Going to watch your video on how to match the size of mold and batter. Hope you are safe there. Take care. God bless you.
Regards, Yellow Rose Homemade Soaps.

I like the fact that you calculated everything on paper. More people should do that. It gets you more in touch with your soap. I'm lazy about that so I just made my own lye calculator. It does everything but the process of making it took over 300 hours. Afterwards I realized I was more in touch with my soap and my soap turned out much better much the same as you writing it down on paper. I hope you inspire many more people in writing it down.

Gosh! Your voice is so soothing. And your video wasn't too fast or too long to watch.

It's not often that I watch an entire video while actually staring at the screen and not skipping through it, but this was so easy to watch, fun to learn, and I didn't even notice how long it was until it was over.

Lovely! 🌸
I love your tip on clean up by allowing the buckets and utensils to become soap first! Definitely helps prevent sink clogs with oils! Thank you for that!
Your voice is so pleasant. I love your accent! 🌼
Enjoy your day!

I had to watch this video again, because it has been a while since I’ve made a batch of soap. I swear each time I watch it I get more information from you. Thank you so much.

[lauragossert]

As much as I love watching people make fancy soaps, I always make soap like yours and I think I enjoy watching the process even more.

I think you did a great job on the speed, editing and length of the video. It went along smoothly and was a very nice watch. 👍

This was so helpful. I can see how multiple batches can be efficient. I've not tried more than 2 in a session. Your tip on not washing the bowl in between batches was great as was the suggestion to whisk the essential oils in instead of using the stick blender. 💡 💡 Thank you, Michele

[davidsweetman]

Elly, that was another winner! I think the speed was perfect.

There is nothing more neat than watching soap being made and cut! I love the crinkle cutter you have. I have to say, I made the beginner’s cold process soap recipe that you posted a video of in the past, and I am LOVING how they turned out!! I don’t think I would have been as confident if I hadn’t come across you and your helpful, wonderful videos! Scratch that. I definitely would not have been as confident. I may not have ever tried it. So once again, grateful for your posts and videos and your recipes!!! Recipes seem rare and hard to find online, so I’m so happy you post yours! Thank you again! 💕

[Kookaburra]

First video of yours that I have watched, and I loved it! You are my new best friend...haha. I have been making soap for a couple of months now, so your information helped consolidate my own learning, with a few extra bits. I liked your voice over, humour and down to earth demonstration. Thank you for sharing your recipes too. Going to check out your sourdough bread now!! Thats something I havent tried yet. Cheers.

11:24 Okay this is gold! I was always wondering about that (weight and volume ratio). Thank you so much for the link and all that info.

Hi I popped back to have another look, I've been practising soap making about 7 batches so far the first batch was you lavender soap for beginner's it went perfectly to plan. then your coconut soap where I started to over stick blend so I was plopping batter instead of pouring in to the moulds, I made the coconut soap again and hand whisked it today, Then I decided to go look at some soap making video's ending up watching this one again, I picked up your message a few times about the thin trace, then just whisk in fragrance. Practice, Practice, love your Coconut soap recipe by the way I gave some of my first batch away and been using it hence had to make some more. Thanks

[sumeriandays]
