When your recipe is where you want it, click View/Print Recipe to get a detailed page for printing.<br /><br />";

Example:  If you want lye to be 34% of (lye + water), check the box and enter 34  in the text box to the right of the check box before clicking 'Calculate Recipe'. &nbsp;<br /><br />'<strong>Water : Lye Ratio</strong>' - Advanced users can also set the Water:Lye ratio directly.  Example:  If you want the water to lye ratio to be 2 to 1, check the box and enter 2:1 before clicking 'Calculate Recipe'.  To use these advanced options simply click the appropriate check box and enter the value in the text box to the right of the check box.  Click a checked box to uncheck it.<br /><br />";

This is called a <strong>lye discount</strong> and 5% is generally considered a safe number to use. &nbsp;Because discounting the lye by 5% leaves 5% of unsaponified oils in your soap bar this number is also referred to as <strong>super fat</strong>. &nbsp;That extra 5% of superfat not only is a safety factor, it also gives the soap bar extra skin conditioning qualities because approximately 95% of the bar is soap and approximately 5% of the bar is an oil mixture that is deposited on the skin.<br /><br /><strong>Fragrance.</strong> &nbsp;if you are working in Ounces or Pounds a fragrance ratio of 0.8 ounces per pound is a good starting point.  Of course you can vary this up or down.  The metric equivalent would be 50 grams per kilogram.<br /><br />";
