Lye is a material used to make soap and potash. Potash can also be made directly from ash. Lye is made by a lye maker at an ashery, and requires 1 bar of ash and a bucket. Ash is made from wood by a wood burner at a wood furnace.

Lye is moved from buckets into a barrel if you have a food stockpile with "misc. liquid" enabled (beware : the "food" menu has two pages, you need to scroll down to find that entry) and a spare barrel. One barrel can hold 50 units of lye. However, a bucket of lye can also be used directly to make soap. Lye freezes in cold weather. You'll have to wait until it thaws in order to make soap. Magma helps unfreeze lye.

Lye is located under Food -> Misc. Liquids in the Stocks screen.
