No need to be nervous! Just filter your milk as soon as you are done milking. Use only stainless steel or glass for handling/storing milk. Personally I just chill it in my fridge but many people chill the milk in the freezer. You want to bring them temp down to 40 degrees F quickly. I stopped putting it in the freezer because I kept forgetting it and accidentally freezing milk and then breaking my jars. 🤦♀️ Feel free to shoot me an email with any questions. Happy to help.
For low temp pasteurization yes. 145 F for 30 minutes. You can do high heat short time at 161 degrees for 15 seconds. You will lose more nutrients that way but it is much quicker.
@@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse i usually let it boil till it is about overboil but I learnt now that's not good as it changes the flavor, nutrients? Not sure but I was just annoyed with the crudles that happen with overboiling. Milk boils at 100c like water but a bit higher. I was doing that just to make sure I got rid of bacteria but since the highest degree of pasteurization is 73c i think, I will not overboil it again. Is there a way or a milk sign to know if I reached that point like some bubbles or something? I don't have thermometer and I am not selling milk, I just buy raw milk because it is way cheaper than packed one.
Great video thanks! I love hearing about the history of milk
Could you do a video on the cool down process after milking? First year hand milking and I’m nervous!

Great advice
72 c for at least 15 sek, is how we do whith all milk by law in denmark
How long will the milk retain its taste
Mine is good for over a week easily.
30 minutes??
