I went looking for lye today but didn't find any. I even tried the 3 Ranch and Home type stores so off to Amazon I went. It should be here by next Wednesday. I figure that two lbs will last me the rest of my life.

I'm wondering about storing it I have access to food grade buckets out of the local chain store for the premixed liquid. Probably either the original container or a smaller plastic one for the other Lb.
