By they way, Granny, can you make butter from goat milk? I don’t see why not, but was just wondering.<<<
I think this morning’s missing word is homogenized, meaning the fat globules are finely dispersed through out the milk and this is the reason many people can drink goats milk, that cannot drink other milks, so sudden shot of fat.
I also means it takes a long time to get cream to rise on goats milk, so I tried to make butter only once and decided it was not worth it.
But making cheese is easy.
get it to the right temperature and add vinegar, LOL, I would want to read the instructions again, but it is about that easy.
Drain and press.
Use the whey as you would milk, in breads and gravies, or feed it to the animals.
When I moved out on the mountain, I bought a full herd of goats off a lady, tried to make cheese and it would not make.
The goats had mastitis and she knew it......I refused to pay for them and did not want them on the place.
That's awful. I assume she took them back. I hope you didn't get sick from the milk. I read an earlier post where you said what to do when filtering milk to make sure it was good.
Very interesting that goat milk is naturally homogenized. Artificially homogenizing cow's milk makes it a lot less healthy, but if God made goat milk that way... hmm, that's really interesting. No wonder it's better for you.
