When I make buttermilk, I have to heat the milk up to 188 and keep it there for about 45 minutes or so. I used to have a lot of trouble keeping it at the same...
Why are you heating your milk to 188 to make buttermilk? Buttermilk culture doesn't like heat. Warm milk to 86 F, add culture, and let sit at room temp. for...

Hi Lisa, So from your explaination, you are pasturizing you're milk and then adding the buttermilk culture. Which to me is defeating the purpose of having raw...

Thanks. I will try this and let you know how it turns out. What about heating milk to make chevre cheese? Can I make chevre without heating up the milk? I...

I make RAW chevre and feta all the time! I just add the culture I'm going to use as soon after milking as I can as the milk is usually the perfect temp! No...
Hello, I am doing research for a book and I am looking for a source of raw grass fed goat milk with absolutely no grains in the goats diet. I have not been...
