[Enquiry] Reduce liquid required in recipe

[tommasoleonelli]

Hi All,
My recipe says that the liquid required is -322.16 g but it doesn't say from which liquid I should remove the quantity.

Can someone help me understand how to reduce the liquid required in my recipe? and what liquids I should remove?

The liquids are only the fats and water to dissolve Lye.

Thanks in advance!

The problem was in your settings. First, you had ‘resize mold’ selected but no measurements. Next, you had an odd amount of water:lye selected, and last when you added water it added it twice because you added RO water (which is water) AND didn’t discount the amount of water. Here are the screenshots,. Making the changes to correct settings fixed the issue.

You may want to add some superfat amount, just to ensure safety and usability unless you’re making laundry soap.

Hi Yooper, thank you for the advice. I made the edits and the recipe looks fixed.

About the superfat, it's about adding a X% more of fats which in my case are the oils (olive oil, coconut). What percentage increase would recommend and of which oil?

Thanks
