How to Make the Best Raw Milk Butter the Old Fashioned Way

[@smokehouse4091]

This was an incredibly delightful and educational video about making butter! Thank you so much The Neal's Homestead! I wish I could have some.

[@TheNealsHomestead]

[@The_Cherokee_Gypsy]

My husband wanted to watch how butter was made old school way, and you two satisfied what we were looking for lol. I’m 31 and he’s 32. We love homemade stuff cause we’re country bumpkins haha. Great video! Old man at the end said gimme another one cracker with butter lol

[@melaniey.5596]

As someone who studies Food Industries, I think that the reason butter becomes too greasy and loses that fluffy factor if you overwork it at the end may be because it undoes the minuscule air bubbles (pores) that formed in the butter during the beating, that give it a lighter texture, like in icecream. Also thanks for the video! As someone who studies the theory this practical knowhow is sometimes missed. Didn't know you had to rinse the butter with water at different temperatures. Thank you for sharing the knowledge. My regards and best wishes for you and your husband! :D

Thank you so much for the instructional video. My Mother used to sit every week and churn our butter while we watched TV at night. I am looking so forward to your cottage cheese video as well. God Bless you and your family.

Churning butter kind of had a relaxing effect. I'm sure your mother was getting a job done, but she was relaxing at the same time. Thank you so much, Tim!

[@kellbell007]

HI there, Thanks so much for this video! I am wondering if it matters that you use a wooden bowl and wooden spatula for the spreading of the butter to remove the excess water/buttermilk? Thanks in advance :)

[@TheNealsHomestead]

I think the wooden tools grip the butter instead of sliding across, letting it spread easier and work the water out.

[@mewmow3930]

Such an interesting video. Now I know where buttermilk came from.

[@TheNealsHomestead]

I'm glad you liked it.

[@royparker7856]

Surprising how many people have no idea about buttermilk being a by product of making butter. Back in the day, a glass of cool buttermilk was considered a treat because they only had it for a few days after making butter. I was raised on a dairy and I used to think it was fun to sit on a stool at grand ma's table and turn the handle to churn butter.

[@DevoutLove]

Thank you 😊

[@lavasiouxwindwater9789]

Store bought butter gives me headaches, so there is clearly some chemicals in it like everything else store bought. Thanks for sharing, i look forward to trying some real butter! Blessings!

[@KyleGertner]

I've been making butter since last October. Couldn't make it with a hand crank churn. 2.5 hrs of cranking, still no butter. 30 minutes with a hand mixer and wisk attachment and I have butter. I let the cream sit 12 hrs, but you said several days. I'll have to try that now. Might of been my only problem.

[@peggymoore687]

How do you store your butter and how long does it stay good?

[@TheNealsHomestead]

If I have a lot, I freeze it. I keep some in the fridge, but i often keep some out at room temp, for easy use. I have also canned butter, but that not my favorite way.

[@haditwithwork]

Thank you! Very informative! Here's a city slicker question... Can an electric stand-mixer be used?

[@stefaniecolgrove5581]

Hi, I'm not the lovely Neal. 🤔 But I have made butter many times. As children we were the butter truners, my mum put the milk in a wide mouth 2qurt mason jar then we would all take a trun shaking the jar, It will build muscle also.😁 This will take a bit of time but your butter comes out lovely .

[@annetteluneau9598]

How do you keep your butter after making?

[@starshine8169]

can you make butter from curds and whey or is this only good for cottage cheese making?

[@anitawillard]

My mom used to talk about kneading the butter. Makes sense now. I need to try this. Do you think it would work with a K paddle attachment on a Kitchenaid? I know that's cheating, but I don't own a geared butter churn!

[@TheNealsHomestead]

Yes, it definitely would work with your kitchen aid. Just don't do it too fast. If you're using site bought cream, Aldi has the best price I've seen anywhere. Have fun!

[@edgrigsby8610]

I agree with "old guy". Store bought butter usually DOES taste like grease. Not anything at all like small batch raw milk butter.

[@farmerperson5907]

How long after calving can you start to make butter?

[@TheNealsHomestead]

I think in a week the colostrum gone and then you can start keeping the milk and skimming the cream for butter.

[@farmerperson5907]

The Neals' Homestead thank you so much! I love watching your videos and learning new things!!!

[@Matthias_Br]

Have you tried to leave the milk or cream in a dark cupboard as sauerkraut is normally and was always made in a stone pot w/o sunlight?

[@TheNealsHomestead]

I keep mine on my kitchen counter until it's turned. My kitchen has no window, but the lights are on much of the time.

[@Matthias_Br]

@@TheNealsHomestead I meant it should have no light getting to it, while fermenting. Not sure if I understood correct.

[@tallcedars2310]

Nice demo, thank you. I'm looking for a dairy cow because I agree with your husband, butter from stores tastes like grease, no flavor... It's like everything else, they are removing the animal fats and replacing them with canola or soy oils, yuck! Milk/cream is the same, tasteless, so I'm hoping to find a dairy cow for a beginner, but it's difficult when you live in northern BC. Merry Christmas to you both!

[@zabalakarenfeliciano]

i want to do it too!....

[@TheNealsHomestead]

I hope you can!

[@MicroUrb]

Hi Jeanette, you seem to have gotten a lot of cream off of two gallons of milk and the end result seems to be about 1 pound of butter there, is that right? Definitely more than I got from two gallons of raw milk. I only got about 5.2 ounces of butter. What is the difference?

[@stefaniecolgrove5581]

I'm not the lovely Neal, but if the milk she can get is from a jursey cow the cream is so thick and the fats in it are better..so delicious.

[@lilycardoso4679]

I have the same question, how many cups of cream did she have to start the butter?

[@michelleseratte9730]

where would someone get the supplies like in video?

Whatever makes you happy😊

[@hyrunnisa997]

I have made raw milk butter...its doesn't last very long and seems to spoil quickly. so i feel like i need to freeze it. what you do suggest I do to fix this problem?

[@TheNealsHomestead]

The only thing i know is to make sure you wash the milk out of it well. Any milk left trapped in the butter will sour and make the butter go bad quickly.

[@trollforge]

So aged cream makes better butter AND makes butter better! ;)

[@TheNealsHomestead]

You got it figured out! Lol aging the butter is best!

[@rogeramezquita5685]

How do you separate the cream from the milk?

[@TheNealsHomestead]

The cream naturally rises to the top, then i use a ladle and scoop it off.

[@brandonp.6120]

Where can I get a churn like that

[@TheNealsHomestead]

I bought from Lehman's, but you also might try antique stores.

[@connielyster9193]

Does it mean anything if the milk and butter smell like oyster stew? Is it ok to eat? Thanks.

[@TheNealsHomestead]

Sorry, i don't know the answer.

[@rumpledsteelskin1590]

Margarine is a substitute for butter made from soybean oil and such. And it kills you nice and slowly so that you hardly notice. And then there's real salted butter like this. The best in every way and it won't kill you nearly as fast as fake butter margarine, except you actually have to work a little to get the real deal.

You said you took the cream off those two gallons of milk, how exactly did you take the cream off?

[@TheNealsHomestead]

I scooped it out with a laddle.

[@MicroUrb]

@@TheNealsHomestead how many scoops per gallon of milk? Please I really want to get this right.

[@TheNealsHomestead]

I don't count how many, i just keep taking cream off until I have it all, or as much as I want to take off. You can see the cream, it's more yellow and the milk is more white.

Can the same be done with goat or sheep's milk?

[@TheNealsHomestead]

I'm in the tropics, room temperature here is at least 97°F how do I factor that in

[@JERRYMCELWAIN]

we had a 5 gal crock and that was always my job i was the youngest

[@Luvmygoats]

That is some really dark yellow butter. I'm assuming it's from you letting that good cream sit so long. I am envious of the people who get real cow milk. I live in Cumberland Maryland and they don't allow it in MD. That's so stupid. I live so close to WV that I wish I could somehow put the word out that I'm looking for someone with a cow so I can have a good source for good cow milk.

[@maryjanekeneipp6623]

Does culturing the cream like that give it that sort of sour, cheesy flavor?

[@TheSummerPayne]

Not at all, I always leave it +48h and the butter always turns out sweet and nice!

I made it in a jar I wish I had what u got to mix it in

[@annesummers09]

How many gallons of milk to make 1 lb of butter?

[@TheNealsHomestead]

The amount of milk it takes to make one pound of butter depends the cow you are getting the milk from. Some breeds produce much more cream than others. Jerseys are hi milk fat producers, Holsteins make less cream. For my cow, it takes the cream off of 3-4 gallons of milk to make one pound of butter.

[@curtisdrakesr4900]

I guess not being raised on raw milk makes me leary of raw milk. If I had a source of raw milk, a cow, or amish willing to sell me some then I would have to learn. There are amish here but most are unwilling to sell raw milk since the crack down a few years back

[@TheNealsHomestead]

Its legal to sell raw milk from your farm in Missouri. What state are you in? It seems like you've told me, but I can't remember. Even so, they can sell it as pet food. This milk is the best I've ever tasted.

I confused. Some people say u need to boiled, because it killed the bacteria in the raw milk. What do you say ?

I believe that if your cow is healthy, and her environment is healthy, you don't need, or want, to pasteurize the milk. The good bacteria in milk is advantageous for us. It helps make our immune system stronger.

[@tptp8945]

I get raw milk and it’s never yellow like that! Not sure why? :(
