First batch of soap

Well, of course, just as I suspected, the first batch of soap I made three weeks ago was a flop!!  It's very brittle and although it did lather, somewhat, it has a patch of white on top.  I was afraid to try the 'bite' test on it since those white areas were on there.  

Well, maybe tomorrow I will try making yet another batch!  I guess it is all about trial and error, huh??!
