According to @Atealein (sourced in commit from https://farmingmybackyard.com/homemade-soap-from-ashes/) \"It takes 10 cups of ashes and about 2 gallons of water to make a gallon of lye water\"; that means 30 units of water (two 1 gallon jugs) and 3.4 kilograms of ash should make 15 units of lye (1 gallon jug). At 50 wood ash, that's 0.05 vol and 0.05 kg, which means 3400 wood ash should be equal to 3.4 kilograms, or 15 units of lye. Instead, it comes out to being not even half, only 40%, at 6 lye (though 100 more ash would bring it up to 7, or 47%). One log burned in a fire produces 163 wood ash. Comparatively, there's a recipe for wood ash where you get 100 ash for every two by four; one log also burns to 80 charcoal in a charcoal kiln, which can convert to lye powder at 50 charcoal to 200 powder, the same amount produced by reducing 6 liquid lye."}}
