[@juliesongaila4773]

I LOVE that you share your fails or unplanned happenings with us. You explain it all soo clearly and I learn soo much from your lessons. Thank You again. Keep soapin' Miss Queen!!

[@bigk5837]

Lovely! Thank you for another awesome video. I learn so much, and it is a delight to watch and hear you soaping. Rock on!!!

[@soapsforlove4168]

I love that you used the oat pulp, very ingenious and the milk was SO thick and creamy. I LOVE lemongrass and these soaps turned out SO nice.

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Thank you sweetness! I'm actually thrilled with the level of creaminess of this one!

[@Taylor-wt9zv]

I like that top lol its like a freshly fallen snow on top I think its beautiful

[@twistedknotz5485]

I actually liked how the soap came out at first too lol.

[@gisellebennett7313]

Wow 😮 Picasso your artistic craftiness never ceases to amaze me the last I did a rebatch it looked like something ET would collect and take back home lol 😂

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Bwahahahaha!!!! Oh no!!! You're always so fookin awesome! Thank you darling!

[@LittleIowaHomestead]

I really really liked this video! Thank you for sharing the ENTIRE experience. It was very educational and fun to watch.

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Awww, so happy you like it. Thanks so much doll!

[@naturallylovely667]

U are the save soap queen 👸🏽!!! Turned out great. I would have panicked and set it on a shelf somewhere. Ur such inspiration thank u for sharing 😍

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Thank you so much sweetheart, you are the absolute best to me! Big hugs!!!

[@sheba12106]

I was making hot process soap as a somewhat newbie. One of my batches was seizing up on me as I put it into the mold. Once it finished hardening, I took it out and found that there was air pockets (even though I banged it down as much as possible) and it was one ugly loaf of soap on top as well lol! I rebatched it with a little extra water and the loaf turned out beautifully.

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Bravo!!!!

[@asola4567]

Your rebatch came out gorgeous!!🌷😍💕

[@kathsmith5064]

Hi hun. It's the middle of the night and watching with no sound. Can't wait to see again and hear what is going on. Whatever you do is amaze balls my lovely. Not going to be able to sleep now, unless I sit in the bathroom and watch again now. X x

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Hahahaha! Kath, I just can't express how much I adore you!

[@Marthawehrly]

I rebatch my soap this way now after seeing a video you did a while ago and let me just say I love it so much better! Plus it floats! Thanks for sharing!

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Yaayyyy! I'm so happy it worked out for you. I do love this method. Don'tcha know my mom who isn't a soap maker was the one who came up with the idea! I love that it floats!

[@Marthawehrly]

Moms always have the best ideas!

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Ain't that the truth!

[@aclark8298]

I really like the sunny yellow hue that the fragranced loaf took on. Both look sooooo creamy.

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Isn't it lovely!

[@tanyabonnett4174]

The soap looks beautiful at the end and this was an excellent video for us beginners to see it as a rough CP and then a smoother bar after HP cook.

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

So happy you enjoyed it, thanks so much dear!

[@camsanders5756]

Nice rebatch. It looks like it would fliat. Your hands are beautiful!

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Thank you so much and you guessed it, it does float! Also, you are so very sweet, thank you so much, and I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

You're the sweetest, thank you so much doll!

[@NaturalMackie]

Oooh looks so creamy and wonderful! 🤩

[@letstalkaboutlife493]

i made a lard, vegetable oil soap and put pectin in it. the pectin has citric acid in too. anyway it seemed to have almost turned out like yours. smaller white spots like cream of wheat size. i put the pectin in it cause i had bought this shampoo called apple pectin by lamour i think it was, about 27 years ago. and i just loved it, its still around.

[@joannpage6691]

Thank you so, so much for this video. Love that rewatched soap💛💛. What salad shredder do you use?

[@catherinejones123]

Its not easy to rebatch. The end result was rewarding. I love it.

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Thank you so much!

[@kathsmith5064]

Hi hun. Just had second run through and with sound. What a beautiful soap that turned out to be. Looks very creamy. Our new adventure hopefully will include that oat milk as it looked the business. X x x

[@brandypayne8781]

💖💞You rocked this rematch! I mean BEAUTIFUL and so luxurious looking! I just love it! It wasn’t bad before though. I liked the roughness/country look to it!

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Awww, thanks so much sweet sweets!

[@PeiPeisMom]

Huh, it looked like soda ash to me at first but that didn't make sense considering the extent of the issue--it HAD to have been stearic spots from the low temp. I can't think of anything else it could have been. This was one FASCINATING video, thank you so much for it! I'm def going to watch my soaping temp closer on the low end from now on.

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Upon further research, it definitely was stearic spots. I'm so happy this video was able to help ya out sis. You and me both will be keeping a closer eye on the temps especially when it comes to milk soaps.

[@justaddlivingwater]

It's still a beautiful soap and sometimes the more rustic saps turn out the best, I'd buy this in a second!!

[@a75826]

Love the way it turned out*

[@Dandicreations]

That looks awesome sister. I've tried oatmilk before and it is fantastic!!!

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Thank you baby doll, and ih it's so awesome!

[@angryravenapothecary9280]

I had this happen to me before also when using oat product in one of my soaps. I believe it's because the oat product on top (especially at low temps) didn't reach the same warm temps as the rest did during saponification, which is why it's much lighter on top...because it didn't "cook" on top like the rest did inside. I could be wrong though. I didn't use stearic and had the same result as you just did and broken down, this is the only reasoning I could come up with. As usual, you've created another beauty ♥ Love you!

[@tarawalker7193]

Great job! the rebatch looks so creamy!

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Thank you doll, and it really is super creamy!

[@robinpinkham9398]

Looked great to me!! Always amazing.

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Thank you darling!

[@lindamyfatcatcow2606]

Thank you for sharing the experience. May I ask was the initial soap “just ugly” because of the spots, so you wanted to rebatch? I’ve also never been able to have achieve such a creamy rebatch soap! I’m definitely going to watch to see your process. Thanks again!

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Thanks so much! Yes, it really was aesthetics on my behalf, and it truly was an ugly soap, lol! You should definitely give this method a go, it turns out so lovely! I've now added a card at the end of the showing my entire rebatch process. Thanks so much for watching!

[@414justzoot]

You need Kevin Dunn on the case to figure out what went wrong! LOL. I love the look of the rebatch, and I bet it is a wonderful soap.

[@Taylor-wt9zv]

Do you share/sell your recipes they look delightful

[@FarmerC.J.]

Thank you for sharing your experience! It looks so lovely and creamy I love your grating technique! Is that a salad shooter? Also, did you use any milk when you rebatched? ❤️

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Thank you love! Yes indeed it is a salad shooter, I love that thing! Nope, I didn't use any milk, just a bit of simple syrup. 1 part water to 2 part sugar.

[@patmyer5917]

Nice soap as always Kenny

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Thank you very much!

[@LunaFaeCreations]

I saw soapy oaks farms video today using oat milk. So I’m literally sitting here reading the recipe to do it in Anne Marie’s new Milk Soap book when you’re video popped up 😂 It does look so luxurious! Go you working it out tho

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Well, I think we both know what that means ladybug...it's destined that you make yourself an oat milk soap, LOL! Honey, let me tell you, I've not come across a creamier soap. I'm seriously considering swapping out my goat's milk for it.

[@beadladee]

Rebatched soaps are amazing for some reason. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[@barandbarsoapco]

All your "thinking" is stressing me out! I'm like, "Hurry up and get it done before it sets up!". hahaha

[@Soapartisan875]

Wow 😍did you add any extra liquid or just melted the fresh soap

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

I add a few tablespoons of sugar water. You kinda have to just keep whipping it and you'll feel when it needs more liquid or not.

[@alishasimms2846]

Well done! Are you able to use the soap sooner, now that it's been "cooked"?

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Welcome love and absolutely, but I like to give it a few days for it to become really solid.

[@mikebruno4643]

Make a funfetti cake scented psychedelic neon batch for me with all the bevel scraps lol

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

That sounds like a winner!!!

[@Kim-kd8or]

Hi 👋 thank you for sharing this with us!. It turned out absolutely beautiful. I’m new to soap making and wondered if you / any of the lovely soapers here have any advice for me. The bars I made previously no problem, one scent accelerated trace but it was fine. I just attempted a melon 🍉 bar. It was fine split batch added colors all going great added sent and once colour had to stick blend as i needed that at a thicker trace. Turned around had all the colors had thickened and suized up so much I was so annoyed but I refuse to throw it after all the effort so I managed to get all of it into a mold, the white was literally crumbling balls. So I know it’s not going to look pretty. I don’t have a crock pot, can I put it in a normal pot on the stove? And is there a certain time limit on when you can rebatch it, for example winthin 48 hours etc? I know mixing it won’t be the layered colour and probably will be a green brown but maybe I can still make it nice. Thanks so much everyone x

[@1019buster]

Hello I love your videos. What kind of grater are you using?

[@talic-os5899]

What did you use to dissolve the rebatch?

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Just heat mostly and a few ounces of sugar water.

[@violetgrantsoapery]

did you add any liquid to your rebatch?

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

If I can remember, it may have been sugar water and milk, but I definitely added liquid for sure.

[@kathywilson8005]

Do you think it was the actual oatmeal you saved and put in the oils that made it curdle?

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

No, I put the oatmeal in after the oat milk lye solution curdled. Honestly, I think it curdled because my oat milk was too thick. I've tried a different method in another soap and it works fantastically. Thank so much for the suggestion though love!

Try spritzing your soap tops with 90% isopropyl alcohol to prevent that from happening.

[@samashbloom3230]

Oh man would I fail the no irritation test. I have a form of dermatographia so I have pink spots on me all the time!

[@Cutepooh]

Could it be soda ask?

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

At first I thought it was soda ash too, but this time it was a bit different from what the soda ash i normally have looks like. Thanks so much for watching!!

[@Bellessentials]

Thank you for sharing! I’ve learned something! And the final soap turned out so creamy looking! 😍 I’m sure it is amazing on the skin! Did you only put the shredded soap in the crockpot with no additives?

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

Thank so much hun! The only thing I added to my crockpot was a bit of simple syrup. 1 part wart to 2 parts sugar. I didn't use an exact measure of liquid, just what I thought would be needed.

[@Bellessentials]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@dcuevas24]

The only thing I could maybe think it was is the left over spent oats. To me seemed like allot, just a thought.

[@moonshadowessentialssoapsn5287]

I soap at 60-65 degrees n I never have that problem I think it was the curdled oat milk if the lye curdled it then it went rancid. That PH was way to high

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

I've soap at those temps as well. The oat milk was indeed not rancid and the ph wasn't high at all. Everyone's recipe is different and reacts differently. What you are saying is certainly not what happened with the soap I made.

[@terriphelps6631]

Thank you for sharing a fail. I have had a lye heavy soap and it burns

[@RoyalAppleBerry]

No problem, thanks so much for watching and yes indeed I,ve experienced a lye heavy soap burn too. It's no fun!
