Sorry to bring this back up to the top but I wasn't sure where else to put it.
michaels4gardens,
I just finished rendering my first bit of tallow ever! Dad butchered a calf and I asked him to save the fat for me. I did about a 1/3 of what he gave me and it made 2 quarts and almost a pint of rendered tallow so pretty pleased. So, my question is...Do you wash the fats after you render them? I did strain it through a coffee filter and it looks wonderful and doesn't smell strong. Should I still wash it?
Do you use any of the fats you render for cooking?
Thanks so much!
Is making your own soap economical or is the Lye and whatever else you need more expensive than I can afford?
