> Will I always divide the lye grams by the percentage of water I want? Like if I decides to use 35% water instead, I'd divide by 0.35?
That's correct. The good thing about that website I listed, is it has a range of acceptable water amounts (30% is great for me).
> Also, how many pounds does this recipe make?
My recipe makes about 2 pounds. This fits perfectly in this silicon bread pan here.
> If I wanted to use it, but at a smaller scale, would it be okay to simply calculate the equivalent percentage? Like, if it makes 5 lbs, and I wanted to make 1 lb, could I just calculate 20% of each quantity, or would I need some more complex calculations?
I would recommend that you first determine what types oils you are going to use, then calculate percentages/weights. I wouldn't make anything under 900g as it's too much work for that little soap being produced. With my recipe, I can get 8-14 bars of soap depending on how thin I cut them.
> And finally, could I sub palm oil with more lard? I've been reading they're pretty similar, and I'm not too keen on using palm oil (despite how apparently awesome it is)..
YES! Thats the awesome part of soap, is you can make whatever recipe you want. And Palm oil is the shit, it makes a nice hard bar of soap. I would be cautious on adding too much lard, as I think it makes a softer bar overall. Unless you intend to add sodium lactate/salt in your recipe.
> ETA: How do you figure out the amount of oils to use before hand? Do you know the total amount of grams you'll use first, then take out the water's percentage, or what? Sorry for all the questions :|
I've come up with a personal range of amounts I like to use in my soaps with the exception of lard (cant seem to find a specific value yet!), but there is a ton of knowledge out there. Also check out SAP values too, if you like doing math, you can calculate exactly how much Lye you'll need.: Avocado Oil: 5 to 10%, Castor oil: 3 to 8%, Coconut oil: 15 to 30%, Palm Oil= 20-30%, Palm Kernel Oil: 10-15%, Shea Butter: 10-15%, Olive Oil: 20-50%, Lard: ? (20% seems to make a good bar).
Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions! I think you should get your recipe down first before trying to add any color/fragrance. Unscented bars of soap are also great too! Bonus pic of our soap:
