How She Makes All Her Dairy in 2 Hours! (Homemade Cheddar Cheese, Yogurt and more)

[@robinlillian9471]

Do NOT throw out the whey left over from cheesemaking. It can be boiled again and made into ricotta or boiled all the way down into fudge cheese (Gjetost).

[@beckyoverstreet7478]

Great tip ,Thanks!

[@retrievingpeace7173]

It can also be used to make a fermented Scandinavian drink

[@RJ-wx3fh]

even with no extra processing, i've used the whey from strained yoghurt in place of water for breads and soups . Free extra protein, a little flavour depth and no waste :)

[@carolgreen5586]

It is also great in bread. Just replace the water amount with whey.

[@gloriack7976]

I make my bread with it as well and when I use it for banana breads or cakes I notice the batter is soooo much fluffier!!

I worked nights when my family got their milk cow, so on my weekends, I'd spend my time while they were asleep making 2-4 pounds of cheese. Some of the whey we'd use in the garden as a tea fertilizer, and some I'd give to my dog as a treat once it cooled.

Thank you, I can't tell you how helpful & encouraging I found this to be; I think I may invest in a milk share now, especially if I can get 4-9 fresh dairy products in under 2hrs a week! I'll probably cut out the hard cheese & yogurt to make kefir, clotted cream (in the microwave), & ghee for cooking instead; oh & of course coffee creamer

Hi Carolyn, nice to see how you make all those different products. And I find it interesting that you do it differently than how I learned it. The time when the curd has to be stirred, I always sing:) We have had a dairy goat farm and I have professionally processed dairy from goat and also cow's milk. Now we are homesteaders with a small group of dairy goats and I do everything in miniature. Only goat's milk butter is a bit more difficult, I would like to try that with cow's milk. I also don't understand why people give a thumbs down. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@debrajessen7975]

@@tama3442 Hell isn’t biblical. A place where God burns sinners forever is a manmade lie. 1 John 4:8 says God is love. A loving God would not do such a thing, and to say it makes God sound evil and frightening. The punishment for sinners is the same as Adams punishment. Genesis 3:19 - “In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.” 😊🙏🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿

[@dschaffin]

@@debrajessen7975 This isn't a theological discussion, but since you seem to be so misled, I can't help but respond. The Bible says your "worm" never dies (Mark 9:42-48). That is your soul. You have to make up your mind where that soul will spend eternity. The Bible and Jesus clearly DO discuss a "hellish" place. Jesus repeatedly states that individuals may be in jeopardy of this damnation. Hell in the Old Testament is mentioned 65 times and is referred to as Sheol. Even the Psalmist (Psalm 9:17) says that the wicked will be turned into hell. The word Tartarus, used only once in the New Testament, literally means to be cast into hell. Hell is also referred to as Gehenna which was a physical place--a trash dump more or less--with fires that never stopped burning. This was a comparison. Finally, there is Hades, which is referred to at least four times in Revelation. It is clearly a place and a place that will be inhabited by evil, unbelieving souls. I guess you could more accurately say that we they will be burning forever in Sheol. But, to say that sinners won't burn would be propagating a lie. Just like the lie Satan told Eve in the garden, twisting the Word of God to suit his evil purpose. She and Adam did die a spiritual death and went on to die a mortal death. This wasn't God's plan. Eve wanted to believe the lie, because it was "prettier" to her; that she could partake in sin with no repercussions. She believed Satan that God was the liar and that is what you are doing here. A loving God is a fair and just God. He cannot forget those who love Him and then reward evil. God's love is what gives us free will to make the choices. He allows us to choose sin and evil because forced love is not true love. He wants us to choose to love Him. God isn't worried about how He sounds to the sinner. He hates sin. He wants us all to choose to love Him and to repent of our sin. We are body, soul, and spirit. Once our body dies it will decay, but our spirit and soul will continue. Please remember the character of that original sin and don't fall victim to Satan's lies. Read His Word for yourself. No need to respond. You can't change what the Bible clearly states with your loose man-centered interpretation. Changing the Word and its meaning puts you in jeopardy. Don't be the person that causes another to stumble. I just wanted to give you something to think about.

[@debrajessen7975]

@@dschaffin Are you claiming that every time the Bible mentions hell, it is referring to a fiery place of torment? Because Acts 2:27 & 31 is telling us about our Lord Jesus was not left in hell, nor his flesh seeing corruption. Should we believe Jesus Christ was in a burning place of torment for three days between his death and resurrection? The translators of the KJV have translated the Hebrew word Sheol and the Greek word Hades sometimes as hell, sometimes as grave and sometimes as pit. I rather think Jesus was in his grave for three days. And when the Bible mentions Sheol or Hades, it is just referring to mankinds common grave. When you know that Jesus was talking about about a literal rubbish dump that was outside of Jerusalem when he talked about Gehenna, I don’t really understand why you believe he was using it to prove that a burning place of punishment awaits sinners. No Jew believed that there was life in the grave after death. Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10 - Ezekiel 18:4 - Psalm 146:3. All sinners will receive that same punishment as Adam. They will return to the dust - Genesis 3:19 - with no hope of a resurrection. Adam and Eve have already received their judgment, unrepentant sinners will be judged when our Lord Jesus Christ comes in his glory - Matthew 25:31-46. Jesus used Gehenna as a symbol of everlasting destruction. At the dump the worms would consume what the fire didn’t. Carcasses, or dead criminals that were not deemed worthy of burial were thrown there. But nothing living, especially not human, was ever thrown there. We can see this from Jesus’ words recorded at Luke 12:5, he said: “I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear ; fear him, WHICH AFTER HE HATH KILLED HATH POWER TO CAST INTO HELL...” Sinners will not be alive somewhere being tortured. They will simply be cut off. Gehenna is just as symbolic as the lake of fire mentioned in the book of Revelation. How can we see it is symbolic? Because Revelation 20:13, 14 says that death and hell - mankinds common grave - are going to be cast into the lake of fire. Death and hell are not entities that can be picked up, thrown anywhere, or burned. Death is the condition we inherited from Adam - Romans 5:12. But God has promised that death will be done away with - Revelation 21:4. Therefore, when the graves are emptied there will not be anyone dying the Adamic death, and thus no more need for graves. Also in Revelation 20:14 and Revelation 21:8 the scriptures explain what the lake of fire means. It says `it means the second death’. 😊🙏🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿

Carolyn, I used to make yogurt by heating the milk to 110, then added a tbsp of active yogurt to quart jars, top it off with the warm milk, then I'd set them in a clean cooler with hot tap water in it...about halfway up the sides of the jars. 10 hrs later, we'd have yogurt!! Now, I buy buttermilk from the store and when there's half an inch left, I add milk to it, shake it up, cover it with a paper towel and set out overnight and it's done! I did this every week on the same jug just using up what was left, for 2 months straight until I tossed it and started over. It's super thick like yogurt or sour cream, and usually after the first time, the tang goes away and it really tastes like a good plain yogurt.

I’ve learned so much from watching your channel I’ve grown up in cities so I get most of my food from supermarkets. However growing up I did spend a lot of time in my grandparents garden where they would grow a lot of the wrong food and spend some time in my grandfathers workshop and my grandmothers kitchen. It’s funny to me now that I’m an older guy I think I want to have my own little Homestead now instead of living in cities. So watching your channel I learn a lot and how to make my own food. I do remember something that was taught to me by my great grandmother perhaps it’s something you could implement for your food storage. My grandmother taught me how to make evaporated and condensed milk. When can correctly it can last on the shelf for a couple of years perfect for the winter time when the cows are not producing as much. With the condensed milk my grandmother would use it straight out of the can in coffee‘s to sweeten and cream the mob or she would use it in baking recipes that requires some dairy and sugar. She would use the evaporated milk and much the same way but for recipes that didn’t require sugar has evaporated milk is unsweetened that’s the difference between the two. She would even add evaporated milk to creamy soup recipes like her delicious creamy mushroom soup or creamy veg. Typical Irish cooking. Perhaps this is something you can do if you don’t need cheese or sour cream and you have enough in your fridge you could make yourself up some batches of evaporated and condensed milk. I have to say the things I learned from my grandparents and great grandmother I’m still using today.

I admit that I really like the way that you've stream-lined the process of making everything. I tend to spend more active time just on my cheese making that you did on making everything. If you capture the whey from the cheddar cheese, you can use that as your starter the next time instead of the using yogurt or buttermilk. When I make yogurt, I'll add a draining step to make Greek style yogurt; the whey from draining the yogurt could also be used. The whey from the fresh cheese cannot be used since it was heated to the point that the cultures were killed.

Homegrown chicken eggs really do spoil you... I can't order eggs at restaurants anymore at all. They're gross.

[@Emily-d9z]

So excited to try! I’ve done the butter but next I’ll be trying sour cream/buttermilk. Can you explain how to get the “home cultured buttermilk” or “buttermilk starter culture” needed for this recipe? Will be joining your master class asap!

[@carolinemurphy8872]

How interesting. Thank you for sharing. I make my own kefir. Not as glamorous as all this ,but satisfying to make and enjoyable to drink.

[@shellnet411]

I've made yogurt and cheese out of milk that I bought from the store yogurt you can make by just putting yogurt into a thing of milk and leaving it out overnight and then refrigerate in the morning covered At room temperature the cultures develop just cover it with a cloth

[@cynthiafisher9907]

This looks really fun and I’m impressed that you know how do all this!

I love your videos! You really give me a julia child vibe. Controlling what’s in your food and using fresh ingredients is so much healthier!

When I need inspiration, I always end up on your channel. Well, I like Luli's channel too. She's Russian and my granny came from the Borderlands of Poland. My gramps was German and her "ways" are very familiar to me, despite the fact that my family's been in Oklahoma since the Landrun of 1889, some thing's are just in your bones.

I love the large pot you used to make your cheddar cheese!🧀 It has such a cool shape with a high dome on the lid.❤ I've never seen anything like it before. Can you please tell me where I can find one like it? Thank you for such great videos! ❤

[@belieftransformation]

Amazing tutorial; thanks for sharing! So helpful! Blessings 🤗🇨🇦

[@jessicah6569]

Thank you for your enthusiasm, Carolyn. I can buy raw milk from my co-op, but just for clarity, did you pasteurize both the fresh farm and cheddar cheeses here? Also, I don't have a family, but I would love to share cheese that I make by hand with friends and colleagues. Is it possible to press smaller rounds of cheese at the same time in the type of press you have, or is it only designed for one larger round? Thanks for making everyday dairy doable!

[@willowriverranch7965]

I’m confused by that too. Why ruin raw milk by pasteurizing??

I’m 3 months pregnant and dairy is my biggest craving😍❤️

[@charlanpennington3989]

My OB told me "Babies are made from vitamins C and Cholesterol, C to help lay down calcium for bone, and Cholesterol is the fat that coats all the nerves". Pickles are a fake craving for Vitamin C, baked potatoes and butter and sour cream give both, baked is the only way a potato has more C than an orange, other cooking methods destroy it.Your dairy craving is probably for the fat, and may be the calcium.

[@Antyweszka]

@@charlanpennington3989 I have nausea all the time and dairy (especially cottage cheese) is the only thing I can eat with pleasure, and other things without any or strong flavour. Thanks for Your advice and now I want a potato🤣

Carolyn, where do you purchase your cheese grotto and/or do you buy it? Can you explain it to us? Thanks!

[@Meliai.]

Do you have any videos of the step by step of each of these things? I used to be Old Order Amish and made these things without the fancy gadgets, lol. I would really love to get back into making this stuff for my family now that I have electricity, InstaPot, mixers, etc.

[@sherlocklabs]

Loved this!! Looking forward to your class! Thank you for sharing what you do

[@amyw6808]

Need to find yourself a cave for that cheese! Just visited Cheddar (the original place where cheddar cheese comes from in UK) and bought some cheese that had been aged in the caves there. So delicious! Bought some hard goats cheese too 😋

[@eleanor198302]

Found a local raw milk seller so going to order a load for next month. Was wondering if I can make chedder without a cheese press. My daughter loves it in pasta or mash and I like it in other things but it's getting expensive. Thanks

[@mrs.garcia6978]

There’s a ton of DIY cheese press instructions online, prob on YT. When I remember was a larger can put a smaller can that would fit in to press down on the cheese in the larger can with a brick on top literally

[@emilyacevedo4746]

Raw milk is too expensive where I live to use for anything more than fresh drinking. Our first “freshening” for our goats is coming up in a month or so and I’m looking forward to being able to have milk for the price of feed. For those who do not have an instapot use a hard sided cooler filled with hot water (my hot tap is about 115F, so it works fine), set your jars of cultured milk in there and it will hold a decent temp for about 10-12 hrs. I like to make 24hr yogurt but my brother makes 36hr yogurt!

[@markobighead3173]

I'm glad I live in a country where we produce some of the best dairy in the world and our pasteurised milk is still fresh and tastes analogous to raw milk because it's not UHT and only pasteurised at the minimum temperatures for a few seconds. It's also literally a third of the price. It's simply not viable to actually purchase for anything other than drinking, to really do what his woman does, you'd have to trade with a farmer or get your own dairy animals if you want to use raw milk for these products.

[@catherinemcnamara1141]

I've started making paneer and yoghurt, which is easy enough as I can heat the milk for both at the same time. Does the fact that your milk is full-fat make the yoghurt less runny, or does it depend on the starter cultures? I hope I can start getting milk from a local dairy farm soon.

[@markobighead3173]

Yoghurt gets it's thickness from both the bacterial culture and the degree it is strained. I've had both whole and skimmed milk yoghurts that were the consistency of whipped cream. The fat content of the milk has no impact on the thickness or runniness of the final product.

[@iluv2worship]

😊Hello. If you boil the milk to 180° for 10” the yogurt will be thicker. HTH

Thank you for sharing. Great stuff. Do you add the liquid left from the butter making to your buttermilk or do you dispose of it otherwise?

[@richarda786]

Hi Carolyn! How do you skim your milk? Skimmers are quite expensive! Do you have a technique to skim it manually?

[@andreacremeans1055]

She has a video on it. 😄 She manually scoops it off the top. Try typing “homesteading Family skimming milk” and it should pop up

[@sannalarsson343]

If you let the raw milk stand in a jar like she had all the "cream" will end up on top after a while. Then you can take a spoon or something similar and just spoon it out. You will see the difference between the milk and "cream". At least that is how we did it when I grew up 😅

[@richarda786]

Haha! Thanks! I asked my grandma and she told me exactly the same while looking at me like 🤷🏻‍♀️🙄
