I've been meaning to comment about 'find your tribe' because I always call my little family of four the West Tribe ❤🤗

[@sarahconklin2881]

Gluten- it’s every where. There are gf beers but like every thing else gluten free, it’s not worth it 😂 except Goodie Girl cookies. They’re worth it

[@tammysully12news]

Love making beer soaps!

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Me too!

[@cindyranuio4912]

Don't freeze it in an ice cube tray, use a 1 gallon freezer bag, then when you are ready to use it, hit it with a wooden mallet and break it up. Works great and it doesn't take long to melt and mix. I do goat milk soaps, I do this all the time, works great.

[@soapsonstone740]

Mr Beer and Clay cos he is doing the beer with Mr S&C and he does alot with the S&C website. So he is hugely involved with both, so he is Mr Beer and Clay. Love the vid as always and all the info. Thanks. 💜

[@ArreisMorsCI]

I absolutely love this!!! Never would've thought about adding gluten on labels... good idea!!

[@stickfiguretree5411]

My egg soap is one of my absolute favorites! I did a triple butter, goat milk, eggs and Rosemary Essential oil and use it in my hair. Husband and I love it - so does everyone that tries it. Do the egg soap! I've also done watermelon puree, fresh aloe gel with cucumber, carrot puree etc. Egg is my favorite. I'm wanting to revisit my concept for my very first soap, I based it on Golden Milk Tea (turmeric coconut milk latte - so tasty and great for inflammation). I just need some ginger fragrance and coconut milk without additives. Unfortunately my first soap was lye heavy and had to be rebatched - but I still love the concept. My second was a matcha hibiscus tea soap, that one overheated out of the mold, made great laundry detergent. I think I need to go back to my tea inspired soaps soon

[@iorodriguez18]

Oh so nice that it's a recipe day!! I mean I love all the videos and the new format but I haven't been watching your magicians series because I've been bing watching the series and I'm trying to avoid spoilers. :) Once I finish the series I will watch the rest of the videos. This is a recipe that I would definitely try. Thank you for sharing!

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

I was super good about not doing spoilers, I think. But tomorrow’s might not be the case - because it’s SO HARD to talk about Elliot without spoiling stuff!

[@helenehenkel]

Love beer soaps, great lather. I have used eggs in my custom order soap & now that I have chickens will be making a hair soap with it.

[@danalin7627]

Love this one. Never ever ever have I seen beer grains nor did I realize it was even a thing. Very cool news about your hubs and brother!!! I boil and freeze dark lager just because I master batch my lye 1:1 and i add frozen rice milk and beer when i make the soap. Yes I agree it's a waste of time otherwise and very unsatisfactory lye mixing.

[@gmakoch3260]

Thanks for sharing the recipe! I'm making beer soap for the first time. It looks easy enough, mild, attractive. I thought I'd use goat milk powder on place of the grain powder. I want a very mild soap for fily members that have skin issues. Thanks again!

[@thisisme2681]

I love getting soaping supplies from our local beer and wine brewery supply shop. Also, I never freeze beer or wine when I make soap. It's so annoying and makes me paranoid that my lye won't be dissolved properly.

[@Kmia0206]

Love this!!! 😀

[@ericaaston7358]

Glad for this, I have some Guinness I've cubes waiting for me... I have been apprehensive about the whole volcano thing. But I have a brewery that has offers the mash to me to make goodies. I'm pretty excited

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Have fun!

[@katelillo1932]

You’re gonna do great! Just use a big container to mix your ice cubes and powder lol

[@Kattcreate]

I used a really cold beer and poured in the lye slowly and it was fine. Slight bubbling but nothing major. I used bud light ! I don’t know if the light version makes a difference

[@satinbubbles]

I have never had this issue with melting the ice cubes or clumps of undissolved lye. I wonder if it's because I do not boil the beer.

[@satinbubbles]

Also, sorry you had such a hard time with that pesky lye!!

[@Kattcreate]

I do not boil my beer either

[@susanarellano2364]

I have long loved beer and coffee cream grinds in soap….

[@satinbubbles]

I cant wait to get some cool stuff from my local breweries!!

[@dea4245]

An apple cider vinegar soap would be interesting, if it adds lather or if it’s detoxing to the skin

[@iKit306]

I would be interested but I would also assume it takes extra lye calculations to add ACV to the soap since that's an acid, which would neutralize some of the lye. Without extra calculations (in the form of extra lye) then the superfar would probably end up too high or possibly, if too much ACV is added, you might not get soap at all?

[@nancyblake7425]

I would also be interested! I've seen others use it for a shampoo bar!

[@Munchkin325]

I'm so lame. The only moniker I can think of is Brother Soap and Clay lol. I've been wanting to try a beer soap since I started my soaping journey. I never realized it had all those properties, outside of having a great lather and is moisturizing.

[@simplymakingitlauraspencer7418]

We pick up spent grain/mash from several local breweries to feed the livestock on our farm, but I never considered using it in my soap! I’m curious, does the smell linger in the soap (some smells amazing, some not so much), and do you like the feel as an exfoliant? Thanks for your videos! I’ve been at this for many years, and I love learning from others on the same path:)

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

I haven’t noticed a lingering smell, but I try to match the scent of the bar to what goes into the beer anyway. The exfoliant was actually really great on this one! Thanks for watching. :)

[@oldweatheredbarnsoapco.1661]

Loved this and love you. I just did an awesome egg white face soap.

Side note, that restaurant uses the, "something or other", left to make their pizza dough and the dough for their burger buns!!!! It's amazing!!!! It's called The dirty dough! Check them out online, in Kingman Arizona. They are owned by the rickety cricket. It's a fun place to go. All of the names of their pizzas are "dirty" hahaha we know the owner and she let her employees name the pizzas. But seriously their pizzas are out of this world!!

[@sandiebrown9521]

Just wondering why you have to freeze the beer to prevent the scorching of the sugars when you have already boiled the crap out of it to flatten it 🤔

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

Yeah I mostly don’t boil or freeze the beer. Too many extra steps. 😂 Sugar does still survive boiling though, just like in cooking.

[@tyler23burt]

Last time I soaped I had a lye clump the formed the entire bottom of the container and I had to let it sit for 20-30 minutes before it dissolved I thought this is crazy I used mostly ice in my solution but I think it be better doing half and half

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

I agree!

[@SandyRavenAuthor]

Brother's nickname: Brother Suds -- Also, I would definitely mention that it does have gluten, but I think the gluten needs to be ingested for it to affect those with celiac disease. Many moons ago I used to work with a lady who had it, and that's what I remember, although I have not done research on it myself. So, yes, play it safe and definitely tell people, it has gluten. Who knows? We might all be wrong and gluten may cause a skin reaction.

[@pjmarks100]

Girl I been just pouring in the beer as soon as I open it n pour the lye in. I don't let it go flat or freeze it or boil it lmao

I wanted to ask.. can you scorch the lye solution with homemade Aloe juice when it's not frozen? I would normally just make sure it's cold because I was told that is can scorch but now I'm being told that is supposed to be frozen. Sorry for being confusing. Also thank you!

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

You can get scorched solution with aloe, but you don’t HAVE to freeze anything before putting it in soap. Usually the color works itself out in the batch.

[@Nina-2311]

@@MrsSoapAndClay oh so scorch just means that the color change and it has nothing to do with damaging the soap at all?

[@MrsSoapAndClay]

It doesn’t damage the soap, no. It’s the potential sugars that have burned; kinda like when you’re making caramel. Still sugar, just uglier.

I want to do this! Wondering why boil after letting go flat? Isn't flat good enough? I understand why freeze, but I might only freeze 1/2 of it to try and prevent the lye chunks.

It’s to boil out some of the alcohol, which I totally do for my hard liquor soaps. But for beer? I usually just open up the beer and start soaping. 😂

I LOVE LOVE beer soaps. 😱,s… reptile you mentioned , big no, no I am to afraid of them almost caused me to felt college since I did chemistry and biology together, oh god, anyhow eggs yes and yes I had done three soaps with eggs I believe A lavender facial soap with egg yolk and also crushed rose petals. Lovely, and a shampoo bar with beer and egg , why? Because they are amazing for my crazy dry hair. I am not sure if I have a video on my IG , but I add the beer directly to the oils, no flat, no boiled. Just straight into my oils, of course if I do 100% beer soap( my shampoo bars) them I let it flat just over the counter and freeze it. Last week I made a new facial soap where I used an entire lemon , skin and everything included along with avocado and cucumbers. What else can we put? Lol, thank you for sharing
