Turn on the crockpot and set it to the highest heat setting. Add the 47 ounces of olive oil to the crockpot.
Put on gloves and goggles. Add 32.9 ounces of the distilled water to the heat-safe container. Mix in 9.39 ounces of KOH flakes to the distilled water.
Slowly pour the KOH flakes and water mixture into the oil in the crockpot, using a heat-safe spoon to stir.
Stir the oil mixture off and on for about 90 minutes, until the mixture is so thick and rubbery that it's almost impossible to stir.
Lower the crockpot setting to medium, put a lid on it and let the mixture cook for 90 to 150 minutes, stirring every 20 to 30 minutes until all the soap is translucent.
Boil 1 cup of distilled water. Add a tablespoon of soap to the boiled water. If the water is clear after the soap dissolves, then the soap is done. Otherwise, continue cooking until a sample of soap in boiled water becomes clear.
Transfer the soap into a large stainless steel pot. Boil 80 ounces of distilled water in a separate large pot. Pour the boiled water into the soap and let it sit overnight to dissolve.
Transfer the dissolved soap and water mixture into jugs and let them sit for four weeks.
