Too little water

[WhittanyWho]

We should never use less water than lye when mixing the lye solution. Is there a way to provide that as a warning or not allow the calculator to do this? I was playing around with adding custom additives in the app, and it allowed me to select an option to replace some of the liquid. I created a custom additive successfully, but I also made a recipe for which the lye may not dissolve properly. I know you adjust this since the water is too low, but many don’t know that.

Other liquids will dissolve lye (like milk) so it’s not necessarily an issue at all. I’d never go with 1.5:1, and usually 2:1 so I’m not sure what liquid you’re using and why it’s an issue?
