You know you can freeze milk, right? We put 4-5 gallons in our freezers. Let them thaw out in the refrigerator about a day before you run out. Shake the container really vigorous to mix the contents, as they tend to separate some during freezing. Tastes practically as good as fresh bought. We've kept milk this way for weeks, and weeks.
One poster indicated opening the gallon container and pouring out a glass before resealing it to freeze ensured it didn’t explode in your freezer.
I’ve never tried freezing milk as my freezer is usually full of venison.
Ah, somewhere I’d read about the separation and that then one could not easily get the milk to re-homogenize.
But if that last is not true, then I’ll try freezing some. Subject to VERY limited freezer space @ the moment. Right now, our fridge and freezer are pretty stuffed. But, if I can get two gallons in there, that’d reduce grocery runs to 13 or 14 days apart, if I can get my daughter to drink a little less milk too. (We typically go through 2 gal. a week, plus a gallon for Mom, but, she’s got her own fridge and I can probably make room to get 1/2 gallon in her freezer. That’s reserve mostly for her, tho’, as she’s 1-1/2 hours away.)
Thanks for the info.!
(I’m gonna remember this for the next time, whenever that is, that we go camping. Double thanks!)
Recommended to pour an inch or so out of the milk container first, because it will expand and maybe burst.
