Could you recommend a recipe book for goat soap? Also, there are so many cheese recipe books out there (I ordered one, but it didn't deal specifically with goat milk) I'd like to buy a few "favorites"

I am new at soap making, but I looked up a few recipes online. I use majestic mountian's lye calculator online.
Find out how much oils you need for you mold, and plug them in. The calculator will tell you how much lye to use.
I use all goats milk for my liquid in all recipes.
A few I have tried are:
26.2 oz palm oil
30.6 oz olive oil
13.1 canola oil
add lye and goats milk this one I also added honey and oatmeal.
another one is:
24.5 oz canola oil
10.9 oz coconut oil
24.5 oz olive oil
these ingredients you can find in the grocery store.
Of course you will have to adjust the oil amounts to fit your mold.
If you go to MM website and plug then in, you can find out the % of each oil in the recipe and you can adjust the amounts.
The website does it for you.
good luck

I am performing this when I was at high school, with Oil and Alcali ? Am I right? I love doing extraordinary things like this while I am still alive!

So, a year later......I finally tried it out. 
Here are some cheap molds I made. I lined them with corrugated plastic. The ribbons just help me lift the liner and soap out of the box when I'm ready to unmold.
My first ever attempt at soap making - goat milk, honey, and oatmeal (unscented). I burned it and call it a success because I learned a lot.
My second attempt - goat milk and honey (unscented). Looks like vanilla pudding here but it's the lighting. The pic below shows the same batch in daylight. Can't wait 'til I can use it!
Fyi, you can see the burned soap in the background. What a huge difference in color, eh? It just kept getting darker and darker.
My husband payed me the biggest compliment when he said "It looks good enough to eat". lol So sweet. It does remind me a little bit of panna cotta.

Thank you. And thank you (all) for posting your soaps on this thread. They are so beautiful - they got me excited to try it. I can see how this could be easy to get hooked on and I haven't even tested the soaps out yet. lolRebbetzin said:
