You know, I always thought pasteurization was something big and complex that you needed a specific machine for. Nice to learn that its easier than I thought.

I want to have a homestead when I’m older and I think goats are one of the animals I’m gonna go for. This helped me a lot, thank you :)

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

You are very welcome!

[@Eternal_Hope_Q]

I always wanted to have a homestead also from being about 4 years old! At 40 it finally happened (we bought the property), but I wanted to care for my Mum in law first. She sadly passed away almost 3 years later but she always wanted us to go ahead with our homestead plans as soon as we could. We now have chickens, sheep, pigs and goats...my absolutely favourite animals here are definitely the goats...they are amazing, hilarious, you win their affection and treat them with respect and when they choose to hang out with you in the paddock it's the BEST feeling! They are great for entertainment, companionship, meat and milk! It's not always easy though, you still have to clean out their shelters every few days, even in the storms, rain, snow. (they poop and pee a LOT!) and you need to make sure they have a good diet, clean water (they need to be hydrated when making yummy milk) and clear their paddock(s) of poop daily to keep flies down and also to collect it for the veg garden! I wish you well and pray you manage to make your lifestyle come to be 😁

Goats are the best, they breed fast and they make milk. I have 83 of them and never kill them, I only get their milk. I'm somewhat a vegetarian except I drink milk and eat cheese for protein and additional nutrition lacking in plants.

[@cockatooinsunglasses7492]

Very nice! I recommend stir in 1/2 cup to a full cup of salt in the ice bath, it preserves the ice and cold temperature of water for longer.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am sure after so long you have figured things out but i have a couple suggestions: 1) put a towel under your mason jars for easy clean up and 2) you may want to use a 4 cup measuring cup to pour the milk from your pot to the mason jars for easier pouring.

[@Calla-sl8gd]

Hi Crystal, you're pretty good at pouring that milk free-hand -- I would have baptized half the kitchen if I tried. Quickie question: when making your farmer's cheese and ice cream, are you using the pasteurized milk or just the raw milk? One other question: being lactose intolerant, milk and milk products are things I try very hard to avoid but I do remember the taste of cow's milk -- how does goat milk compare in taste to cow's milk?

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Hahaha. I was on my best pouring behavior ;). When I make the farmer's cheese I take it to 165 degrees before I pour in the vinegar so it gets hot enough to pasteurize. The ice cream I do use pasteurized milk for. My goat milk tastes better than cow milk. It has a very similar taste to cow's milk but with a buttery taste to it.

a thought mason jars can stand boiling so once you get the milk down abit in coldness why not put it in at 90 degrees and then put it in the fridge to finish cooling it might work faster than the cold water

[@teffyvargas5916]

Doesn’t that spoil the milk faster ? Going from hot to cold quick

[@simpsongreenhouseandchicken]

All those that keep asking. In almost all states, if you sell goat milk raw or any milk and someone gets sick, they can sue you

[@qtcourtney6]

Do you start with milk that had come straight in from the goat(still warm)? Or do you chill it first and then pasteurize later like the next day? Does it matter? I have pasteurized cows milk from a local dairy before a couple days after it was milked. But I’ve read that you want to chill goats milk ASAP so that it doesn’t get “goaty”. Just wanted to see what to best practice was. Thanks!

[@anjalia9328]

Hi, thank you for sharing this video. Really helpful. I wanted to understand how long can we store it in fridge once pasteurised. Any help here would be appreciated.

[@Ella-bv5qi]

What would you pasterze the milk to kill the good bacteria?

[@angelajohnson577]

Crystal, I benefit so much from your fun and tutorial videos!! Thank you for them all! One question: do you milk and immediately following pasteurize? Or do you filter, cool (refrigerate) and pasteurize later? I am currently milking twice a day and pasteurize right after. Both times. Time, time, time. Could I safely cut that down to 2 milk, 1 pasteurize per day? Thoughts? (And thanks!!)

[@beckydavis2252]

Maybe you could get a canning funnel to use when you transfer your milk. It will help you some on clean up.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Haha. Yes it is on the looooonnnggg list I have :)

[@galassi06]

I have 1 goat just starting to milk her. I'm getting small amounts each day. Could I gather for a couple days & then pasteurize? Could I combine am & pm milking? What about combining small amounts of pasteurized together? How long does your milk last? I Love you video, so easy to follow.

[@11907DJ]

Robin Realtruth some drink raw, some pasteurize. Mainly comes down to personal preference & state laws in the case of selling milk (I believe, may be other reasons for other people!). There are risks with any raw milk, just as there are risks with using cell phones and eating GMOs 😉 The cleanliness of animals, housing & milk handling/storage are HUGE in keeping raw milk safe. There are benefits and risks, for my family & I, the benefits far outweigh the risks. I would not drink raw from a large commercial dairy where cows/goats are not spotless LOL.

[@honestyfaithful]

Joy Spaulding thank for replying 🐐

[@TheKristenGibson]

Robin Realtruth I personally drink raw. I definitely only would have thought that they did too. I don't like the taste or pasteurized milk. I also like the benefits from the raw.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Hi Robin Realtruth! There are benefits to the raw milk, yes. There are also many benefits to pasteurized milk. Now my herd is very clean and very healthy. I handle my milk with care. All of that being said, I choose to pasteurized because I have seen, first hand, the effects contaminated raw milk can have. My perfectly healthy cousin at 8 years old became very I'll from drinking raw cow's milk. He has been mentally handicapped since. He is 38 years old now and has lived his life unable to walk or talk. My uncle worked at a dairy farm and always brought the raw milk home for the family to drink. Now I know keeping a clean herd and how the milk is handled plays a huge role in the safety of the milk. I just personally don't feel the risk is something I care to take. I do not disapprove of those who do drink raw milk, as I know it has benefits, we just like to not take that risk is all. The risk is so small and so very unlikely to happen, I know. Again, I have seen a loved one suffer from the effects and that is why we pasteurize our milk :).

How long can I keep pasteurize milk and ice cube trays in the freezer or jars

[@hollyhancock2319]

Hello, I am new to goats milk. I just bought my first gallon yesterday. Before I bought, I never read up on it. I have severe anxiety. So you imagine, when I read all the possible insights to it. I was overwhelmed. I tried about ¼of a cup, very cold. After drinking, I got a metallic taste I believe. I became very concerned. Still some fat left on top. What should I be concerned with. Can I freeze it, use for biscuits. I do not want to waste. It. I did not ask about pasteurization, seeing she has a farm with tons of goats, cow, ect. Should I ask, what should I do. Any advice is appreciated. Tysvm

Why didn't you use a short funnel?

[@melissamurphy1569]

Do you always pasteurize or do you drink it raw. Curious what the difference is and benefits. 😄

[@virtuious901]

In Florida it is illegal to sell raw milk because there are bad bacteria that can be in it along with good bacteria. I know when your pasteurizer killing some of the good bacteria but you’re killing all of the bad also

Can I make kefir with this after pasturization?

Is this really safe to do at home??? I buy my milk raw from a farm to make cheese but I dont know what kind of hygene procedures they take so I want to be sure that this kills all the bad bacteria

[@JennBenn99]

So I have been doing raw. I am thinking I am going to move to pasteurizing. What I would like to know is this. I have been keeping milk on ice as I milk, bring it in, strain it and then bottle it. If I decide to pasteurize will I still be able to ice it as I milk or is it not good to go cold hot cold. For us the key to the milk not having a goat taste is cooling it as quickly as possible. What exact order should I or can I go in?

But why do we need to pasteurize the goat milk when you are lucky to get raw. Aren't the benefits more when consumed RAW??

[@PaTtErNoFmYcUtS]

Why keep it on medium until it reaches 165 degrees instead of heating it up faster? And why cool it off as quick as possible? Just curious.

[@DoctorDoomsPvP]

She said that the bottom of the milk will burn if heated too fast. The milk must be cooled quickly to eliminate any heat-resistant bacteria which survived pasteurization.

[@luckypup16]

Is this what you would do to pasteurize colostrum as well?

[@caninedrill_instructor5861]

Pastuerizing colostrum ( at least cow colostrum, maybe goats too ) is a not so good idea, according to a veterinarian that provided the care for our cow herd, the heat used in pasteurizing colustrum would destroy the immunofactors contained in colostrum. Now, with that said, I don't know dairy goats so that may not apply.

[@andrewmacedo9570]

No need to pasteurize it if it’s a healthy animal

[@paigebanks7552]

andrew macedo That is absolutely 100% UNTRUE. Healthy animals are still covered in dirt and feces. Bacteria and other pathogens can then get into the milk from dirt, hair, water running off the hide and dropping into the pail. Pasteurization is for what is around the milk and its collection....not the fluid itself. It's not an issue if we all drank from the teat. Many animals are can also be carriers and have no extraneous signs of illness. Education is a lovely thing.

[@SJRRO]

@@paigebanks7552 Raw milk has many more benefits. All my family we've been drinking it for years without any problems. But I would only drink raw goat milk from a trusted farmer. Because yes, if it gets across bacteria then its contaminated.

[@jabethomas]

In our experience, pasteurizing the milk gives it a goaty smell/flavor... how about you? Any tips or tricks to share? :)

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

I have never had this issue. I will say, cooling it very quickly gives it a better taste though. Cleanliness in the way you milk your goats and handle the milk plays a role in taste as well. Different goats have a slightly different taste to their milk as well. And of course their feeding regiment will play a role too.
