Citric Acid in HP

[JewelsSuds]

Hi! This is my 1st time using this particular calc. I noticed the liquid discount button after adding my 2% of Citric Acid. Do I click yes or no? When I added the CA, it DID properly adjust my lye. If I click yes, it just reduces water and clicking no just adds water with no difference in lye amount. My lye concentration is set to 25%.

Second question, is the calc set to an automatic 0 SF when clicking the yes add superfat after cook? My oils are 500 grams, looks like it wants me to add in all fats with lye, and a additional 5 percent of whatever after cook. This brings it up to 525 oil weight, not including lye, liquid etc. Just wanted to be sure I'm understanding this particular calc. I use soap calc, but I like this layout better.

Yes, that’s correct. The liquid discount tends to be more if you are using a liquid additive so you will leave it no for citric acid. And yes, you will add the super fat after the cook if you choose that option.

Thankyou so much! I will go ahead and un click yes. I don't want more or less water than necessary. It already adjusted the water when I clicked CA and the percent. I'll just keep it at that!
