Hi Heather! Yes, you can exactly double my recipes with no problem.
They should work to triple them too, but as you get larger and larger batches, you may want to tweak certain ingredient ratios.
Anytime you increase or decrease a recipe size, just run the new amounts through a lye calculator. I like Soapee or Soapmaker’s Friend.

Happy soapmaking! :)

I recently purchased about 6 of your books (love them all!) But I’m wanting to know instead of making smaller batches, I would like to make bigger batches. I use the recipes from your book and website. Would I just multiple the original recipe if I wanted a double the amount or even triple the amount of soap?
