Wastage
do you compute for wastage in a brew?
lets say I need a 50g tub filled but I brew a total of 52-54g of ingredients some get
left over in the container where I melt and mix it. Does this happen to you? -

Of course. 5% is typical for me.

This is known in the trade as a 5 percent heel. In many chemical reactions it increases the yield such as in sulphonation or sulphation and so on.

Always!
Also be aware of measurements (volume - mass). A tube of 50 ml doesn’t necessarily pack 50 grams. It’s handy to know the relative density of the substances you’re working with. -

me who does it haha. Thanks!!!! Still trying to work out a heavy hold pomade oil based specifically for a tropical climate I’m on my 16th recipe haha.
