    To reiterate on my corrections!
    1. The rules state that you must use dairy milk, but it does not specify that it can be only whole milk!
    2. I definitely didn’t mean to say “liquid mass” over and over again. Please forgive me.
    Okay, good talk, y’all.

      I honestly didn't expect to see a purification technique I learned from graduate level organic chemistry, but I am pleasantly surprised. Also, my historian linguist brother showed me an extremely similar protocol used historically with alcohols. Just two trivia bits.

      When you freeze distill, which part do you keep? The part still in the milk jug, or the part that has come out into the pot? (I'm guessing the part in the pot, since that's the only part you can taste?)

      I have two questions:
      1- would the container you use to freeze the milk and then filter it into affect the quality of the distill?
      2- Are you supposed to run the milk through like a coffee filter in-between?

    The process of Freeze Distilling is/was colloquially known as "Jacking". This process was most famously used for distilling cider, creating a distilled spirit known as "Applejack" This technique has fallen out of favor for distilled spirits these days. So this could be known as "Milk Jack" and that is something that I never thought I would ever say.

    Just an idea for the leftover "waste", you could easily use it to make a dulce de leche! Simmer down 2 quarts of your "whey" to about half volume, add 2 cups of sugar, continue to simmer until you get the color you want, then add 4 Tbsp cold butter to prevent it from seizing. Season to taste :)

  • @somefreshbread

    Finding a way to utilize the leftover "whey" would be game-changing. I wonder if you could manage a very soft ricotta or similar cheese with the leftover components, or if you could stop the process a bit early to get say, 80% of the fat/sugar/protein while leaving a bit behind, and then introducing just a bit of water to the initial output to get the viscosity you want.

    In the world of cheap beer you typically see a regular version, a Lite version (fewer calories, less alcohol), and an Ice version. Ice Beer uses a similar principle, lowering the temp of the beer below 32F and skimming off the ice crystals, which are just water. What you're left with is a higher alcohol, higher calorie version of beer. Drunker, faster, for cheaper! Ugh...

    I wonder if you can make this work with directional freezing, the way you'd make clear ice: put milk in an insulated, open topped, cooler. Put the cooler in the freezer. Wait maybe 5-10 hours and skim the ice off the top.
    If you weigh the ice you should be able to keep track of volume, and if you're only partially freezing the milk, rather than completely freezing then part thawing, it could be the difference between 50 hours and 12.
    I've got some milk in the freezer now to give it a go.
    *UPDATE*: it worked, I think? I don't have a batch done the long way for comparison, but it's tasty, at least!
    A caveat, though; you save space (as you don't need room in the fridge for a drainage bowl) and time (2L took me 12 hours), but it's fiddlier.
    I used the container for my ClearlyFrozen ice tray, as it's the only insulated cooler I have that I can fit in my tiny freezer. Left 2L milk for 12 hours. The fat had risen to the top, most of the water had frozen in a stiff block just under that, but some had formed a fragile cage under that.
    To extract, I scraped off the fat with a spoon, into a bowl. Then tipped everything into a big, clean oven tray. Lifted the whole ice structure up and turned it this way and that to get as much milk out as possible. Drained the tray into the bowl through a colander to remove the ice that had fallen off. Finally the remaining ice went down the drain, and the bowl of milk went back into the original milk bottle, which I shook thoroughly to recombine with the fat.
    Soooo... More work, less time. Pretty complicated, but not difficult. Sharing an apartment with friends in a big city, though, I just don't have the space for the approach in the video, so maybe this'll help people with that problem :)

      @tarancard6 2 роки тому +6

      Hi guys.
      Another, simplification on this alternate methods is to fully freeze the milk.
      But then leave the container closed and let it melt slowly, at room temp, but still sealed. Until it is partially thawed.
      As the temp rises, each component will fully melt as it reaches its melting point so after 3-4 hours you have a heavy distillate with a fair amount of water ice suspended in it.
      Now just shake up your, still sealed, container. To get basically a whole milk slushy. And pour it through a strainer/sieve. This catches out all the ice.
      If you experiment a bit you will find your preferred melt time and output ratio.
      This is basically the same technique as fanboys but way more lazy.
      Good luck!!

    Their is an analogous wine product, Ice Wine, (or Eiswein in Germany, where the process was first used). They keep the grapes on the vine, past the conventional harvest, and the grapes evaporate / raisin, on the vine. THEN, they wait until winter comes and freezes the grapes, at which time, they harvest, press them frozen to get a honey thick must which intensifies the flavors. It is sublime and I highly recommend trying it. Canada makes good Ice Wine and even one California winery makes an ice wine by placing grapes into a freezer. Cheers!

    Hi Morgan. I come from Jersey, the original one in Channel Islands near the UK/France.
    Jersey has a number of famous namesakes, like New Jersey or sports tops or woollen jumpers... but our cows (Jersey Cows) are a renowned dairy breed exported all over the world. Often used to mix with other breeds to "fatten up" whole milks. It wouldn't be surprising if the milk you just drank contained a % of Jersey milk. If you look around you might be able to find whole milk made entirely from Jersey cows. Should be circa 5.0% fat content, more proteins, calcium and nutrients than any other breed. Thicker, creamier, distinctly "buttery" and will probably be far less sweet, especially when drunk fresh/cold.

    I wonder if there isn't a way to freeze distill quicker by increasing the surface area. Freezing and thawing a huge block of milk at once I would think would take the longest time. Freezing the milk into ice cubes and then putting a colander into a pot and throwing the cubes into that might be overall quicker. The cubes should also freeze quicker. Of course that's more work and probably more mess... Maybe a baking tray or sheet pan and break up the resulting mass into shards instead...

    It strikes me that this is a lot like evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed milk), but with a cold process rather than a hot process. Both take out a good deal of the water from the milk (typically 60% removed from evap), and it probably wouldn't really make a difference if you were making a chowder or casserole and were really cooking either water-reduced milk. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like most milk drinks want to heat the milk without really cooking it, and that the cooked milk flavors are generally something avoided. If that's the goal, cold-evaporation makes a lot of sense.

    Mom always had a little can of evaporated milk in the fridge to use in coffee. Years later, I had a freezer used for fish & game and bulk foods. Many people use jugs of water or ice packs in freezers to take up space and to keep everything cold should there be a power outage. I used gallon and 1/2 gallon jugs of milk, bought whenever it was on sale. When camping, frozen milk stays cold longer than regular ice. As it melted, we'd use the milk for coffee and cereal; at home when i had a frozen jug in the fridge to thaw, I'd use it in coffee. The flavor was similar, but much smoother than canned evaporated milk. Eventually, I'd put 2 jugs of milk into the fridge: 1 to thaw enough for coffee, the other to thaw completely for usual milk use. I always just tossed the jugs into the fridge to thaw, BUT the procedure of inverting the jug in a larger pan is a brilliant idea. I kept the partially thawed coffee milk in an antique milk bottle I still use today; the rest of that milk was allowed to thaw, then added to regular whole milk for cooking and cereal. The freeze/thaw procedure predates Ben's "discovery" by nearly 40 years.
    It's important to always keep containers clean between milk refills. There is a residual film of fat coating the inside that soapy water doesn't adequately remove. For a gallon bottle, dissolve 3 Tablespoons of dishwasher detergent powder in boiling water and mix with water to completely fill the bottle. Let it sit overnite, agitate, drain & rinse. This same dishwasher detergent mix also works well in coffee carafe and thermos to completely remove the accumulation of brown coffee residue

      Coming from a guy who live in a town that doesn't have that much variety of milk (everything is processed), i use creamer a lot and i can tell some difference. First, creamer is much thinner and the creamy taste is more like after taste in your mouth rather than upfront. The foam (I use French press) can be made, but it quickly dissipate. Until now, I'm still figuring out how to make creamer taste more like milk, but so far my results are : "If you just mix it with a lot of coffee and ice, most people don't know the difference"

    there is another trick. To make your milk taste a little bit different and creamer. Instead of going to that whole process of freezing your milk. Get 1 L of regular homogenized milk. And 1 L of half and half cream. mix both of them together. Then steam them. You pretty much get the same effect. But milk is not always milk. Certain milks taste different in different countries. For instance Austria having the best milk in the world. And Minnesota having one of the worst tasting milk in the world. This is where we run into a problem. And it Alters the taste of the coffee. As I am from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada the milk here is 50/50. I suggest trying this trick in smaller quantities. as I am a coffee lover. I hope everyone enjoys their cup of coffee. And has a beautiful day. Please stay away from coffee pods. That is just instant coffee put into plastic. And they charge you way too much money. buy coffee beans and grind them yourself.

It would be interesting to see what % the distilled milk comes out as. And also how it compares to just mixing in cream to whole milk. - There are a couple new video ideas for you Morgan.
    The process that milk goes through is a lot more involved and interesting than I ever imagined before I learned about it from a dairy farmer. The most interesting part is that All the fat is removed via centrifuge and then added back in at the correct percentages and homogenized to create Skim, 1%, 2%, Whole, etc.
