This is the milking system we use: www.hoeggermilkingsystems.com/shop/hoegger-dual-35lb-goat-machine
We were asked to do this video because cleaning milk equipment can be daunting when you are new to machine milking. Remember, the cleaner your equipment, the cleaner your milk, the better your cheese.
Now go watch some of those cheesemaking in Transylvania videos to see that you can make good cheese with even the most rustic of equipment! 😂
i just saw this video and it was informative.
My situation is just like yours...NO warm/hot water in the barn. I REALLY appreciate this helpful video!!! 🤩
I started taking hot bleach water back out to the barn after milking. It was such a headache. I started doing it this way and it saves time and muscle power. Great video.
Catscratch Farms it took so long to haul everything back out to the barn. Nearly defeated the time saved by the machine.
Awesome way to clean your equipment ♥️
Thanks for sharing Kristin. Love those gloves.
Do you do this regiment twice a day, every time you milk? This does seem cumbersome. We have always hand milked, but my MIL can’t milk enough with her arthritis, so we bought a machine. However, I’m now so intimidated by the cleaning! 😯
I'm so glad you did this video. I was just thinking i would lime to aee your entire milking routine from start to finish. Thank you. I wish we had inline filters on ours.
Edel Hanley I’m surprised it’s been so well received! Love the in-line filter. It was $50 from Parts Department milking supply.
If milking with two lines do you have a milk filter on each line into the bucket or do you combine them somehow to only use 1 filter. I have a bucket milker 2 goats was wanting to add inline milk filter and a milk meter, not sure how best to do this.
Hi there! Curious where you get your inline filter from & our two types of cleaning brushes from?
How often do you have to clean these babies out? thinking about some yaks for milk for pigs, butter/creme/cheeses for my own hobby interests.
Wow thats really the hard way. I worked on an goat dairy and they used an bucket of water with bleach and vinegar and sucked it through just like milking and then dump. I have my own milker set up and do the same with only 2 goats. Your way take forever milking twice an day.
I know right. I like your way
Do you know of any videos that show this?
@@CG-mj8tk I am.working on it. I have an channel
Bleach and vinegar?
That creates chlorine
Gas and is toxic.
Great video
I’m using a belly pail,
How often did you Clean the vacuum lines to the pail. Daily or weekly?
Hi Kristin ! Do you sanitize the bucket/inflations/hoses with bleach-water just before milking ? Thanks
Where do you get your small bottle of acid wash
How do you get the plastic smell and taste out of your lines . Our machine is new and you can taste and smell the plastic ?
Thanks for such great videos. What kind of milking machine do you have?
We use the Hoegger milking system with the 35lb pails.
What kind of milk machine do you have?
Thanks for this great video! What type of milking machine do you use? It looks awesome!
Clarissa Hulet i have this system though I only milk one goat at a time instead of two. I don’t want to clean two sets of lines each day. www.hoeggermilkingsystems.com/shop/hoegger-dual-35lb-goat-machine
I don't blame you! Thanks for the response. Now I just need to save my pennies so I can buy one! Thanks for your videos. Always super helpful!
I love that you made this video! Thank you.
Totally off the subject question. I’m using siggis as a starter for my yogurt. I use your process with the instapot etc. I thought last time I maybe used too much starter so this last time I was very careful to measure. My yogurt always comes out gummy though. Almost presents ribbons when you lift a spoon out of it. I hope that’s descriptive enough. Any thoughts?
Jaime Nieto it’s normal for the whey to be a bit thick. Do you drain yours?
Hi there, I had this problem when I started making yogurt, it got to a slimy stage but never really thick. Yuk! So I contacted the supplier of the yogurt culture, who told me that my incubation temperature was too low. One of the cultures was working at the low temp, but the culture that thickens the yogurt, needed more heat.
So if I find that my yogurt turns out like this now, I increase the heat a little and give it another couple of hours. I now get wonderful thick yogurt. Carefully spoon the set yogurt into a fine strainer after it has cooled down, without breaking up the structure, and allow it to drain for really thick Greek style yogurt.
Or just make a few vertical cuts through the jar of set cooled yogurt, leave for a few hours, then carefully pour off the whey.
The Indian method is to first simmer the milk to reduce it by half its volume before adding the culture, to make sure it is thick.
HammockHavenFarm hi! Yes, I do. Usually for a few hours. I notice that after about a week the yogurt becomes a little more normal in texture. It’s plenty thick too.
I have the gallon mason jar milker from Dansha Farms and in one of their youtube instructional videos they advise not using soap or bleach because it will cause the plastic tubing to harden over time. Do you feel that to be true? Have been just using white distilled vinegar. Also, where did you get your nice long dish gloves? Love ALL your videos!
Shannon Seiffert I have never had issue with my lines hardening. My friend cones from a commercial dairy background and they are required to run Clorox through before each milking. I can’t imagine they’d require that if it ruined the lines.
We replace our lines at the beginning of each season. This year I switched to the silicone lines. They are thicker walled but more flexible and seem to repel the milk. I am liking them. Thanks for watching!
Shannon Seiffert the gloves were a three pack off Amazon.
Dansha farms doesn’t use silicone lines. Pretty much all of the branded bucket milkers will use food grade silicone lines.
That being said. I use a vacuum claw cleaner to clean my milker lines. Works very well. U hook up any lines u want cleaned and it cycles the water thought it.
@@corny155 are there any videos to your knowledge on this cleaning method??
@@CG-mj8tk yes...search Hanby dairy supply claw cleaner
Which system are you using? I have a belly pale and I'm getting junck in my milk when I have to dump it after every 2 goats.
Cedar Gait Farm that’s what I started with but we just have too much milk for that now. I bought the 35lb pail setup from Hoegger to add to my existing system. Then we started having too much milk to fit in one pail so I bought a second.

Can I buy the long milk line brush on amazon? Do you have a link
RønnelyGård Geder I got it from a dairy equipment supplier but can’t recall which! Let me do some searching for you and post a link.
This is what I have. hambydairysupply.com/cable-hose-cleaning-kit-for-1-2-id-vacuum-and-5-8-id-milk-hoses-1/
