I haven't opened one of these in years. Tastes just like I remember it.

First you have to render Tallow. I do not render my own, Too time consuming. I purchase mine, using Sats.

You, obviously, have to do some calculations, as to the mold you are going to use, and much you will need for ingredients. That's another discussion.

Once you have all the precise parameters, you then melt down oil (Tallow) into liquid, you dissolve lye into water.

Depending on which method you are doing, Hot process vs cold will depend on the temps you use. Just as it sounds, you want high temp's for Hot, and cooler temps for cold. That will have to be another discussion as well.

Once you get them to the proper temps, then you blend them together until you have what's called "trace". It is thickened like when mixing a pudding, and it begins to have a "trace".

This is just basic Tallow, keep in mind. When adding colorants and scents. It becomes more difficult.

That's interesting I've been thinking of doing it.

Not interested in colors because I'm a bare bones practical type person, but suppose I wanted to add some things, herb leaves for scent or beeswax to harden it up better, how much more complex would that make it?

basically framed a box of half inch ply around the sink and stained it. Raising it up.

Yeah I see the tap is a short version of a commercial kitchen one, it's very useful compared to the sparkly things they sell the consumers, so I'm curious how that was put together for when I get around to putting one in. I know I do not want your usual whatever, but otherwise unsure on the full 3 basin commercial kitchen sink or something smaller.

Tossed this bad boy off my buddy's pier, already caught 6 so far. Who here eats Atlantic blue crabs? There's nothing like pulling them fresh out the water yourself and eating them an hour later.
