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.
Very excited to try this. I have a site that is the son of a blue cactus goat. I’m in Michigan! I got so excited that he was a descendant from your farm!
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.
I am a new subscriber must say in the pass few days been going through your videos and they are very educational. And very easy steps as you demonstrate very throughly even for new beginners as myself. And love the reggae tune in the video I am from belize central America now residing in tucson arizona thank you for your videos again very helpful for new beginners. God bless you and your family
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.
beautiful farm and family! thanks for the videos, new subscriber here. my girl gave birth to 2 healthy kids on super bowl sunday! named them chief and niner lol.
This is awesome! I just got my girl to stand still on the milk stand for the first time and I got a TON of milk out of her, this was very helpful with what to do afterwards.
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?
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.
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!
I was wondering, Chrystal, if you know of a method of making goats cheese that doesn't require heat? Recently went to the Balkans for a couple of weeks & was told they don't heat their milk for the cheesemaking process but, unfortunately, I didn't quite catch what it is they do instead. Would love to know if you know....
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.
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
Hi yesterday we bought a gallon of raw goat milk, we poured it in a stainless steel pot crank the flame all the way up let it boil to bubbles and the milk now looks like clear weter..😂😂😂 i know we messed up but after watching this video i know how to do it the proper way..thanks
I was just going to look up to see if you pasteurize your milk, and wouldn't cha know it, that was the first video that came up! Pretty sure you got a bug on me sis! lol Have a great day!
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?
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
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.
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.
Ciao!, greetings from italy! I am new to your channel. I would like to know the shelf life of the pasteurized milk base on this procedure. Thanks! Grazie!!
Honestly, we drink it so fast it doesnt last in our fridge longer than a couple days! I would say 2 weeks at least from time milked out. Regardless of raw or pasturized.
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.
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!!)
Do you stock pile your milk in the fridge until you get enough to pasturize at one time? I only have 2 in milk right now and would not have much each milking to pasturize every morning. Thank you
I get a stock pile really fast! I get 2 gallons a day so I try to do every other day. I will pasturize, make cheese and ice cream. Otherwise I'd be feeding it to the dogs! Lol
Love your videos! I just pasteurized my first batch of milk. Turned out my thermometer was broken and by the time I realized it, the milk had gotten to 185 degrees (maybe more). This milk is slightly thicker like cream. Is this milk bad now and if so is there something else I can use it for?
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
Pasturizing is to kill any harmful bacteria that may be in it. This milk was already filtered right after it was milked out and kept refrigerated. Always filter your milk!
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
I will be finding homes for most of them or all. I can't tell the sex of any of them just yet. Hoping the gray or orange one is female though. Mainly the gray one!
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.
Great video thanks🐐😊🐐. Is their a reason you should pasteurize the milk? When I was you we drank cow milk raw. I know things are much different now..... I have been watching many of your videos, they are very informative thank you🐐😊🐐. HAVE A BAAAATIFUL DAY!!!
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.
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.
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 :).
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 always wondered how this was done. I thought it was much more complicated. Thanks for sharing!
Nice video
Thanks for this video! My goats arrive at the end of July!
Thanks for sharing. Very easy to follow

With six percent butterfat, it definitely would be more buttery tasting...

Can I make kefir with this after pasturization?
Doesn’t that spoil the milk faster ? Going from hot to cold quick
Can I take it from the goat to pasteurized or do I need to cool it down in the fridge first

How long can I keep pasteurize milk and ice cube trays in the freezer or jars
Thanks for sharing💐 How about if i want a goat milk with chocolate flavour?
I've been milking my goat, is it ok to put morning and evening milk together when you pasterize it
You also filter it first, right? Where do you get your filter and jars?
Learn something new every day!
How long does the milk take to spoil?
What are the types of goats you have and what type of hay bale grass do you feed them ? Thanks
We typically have them foraging our native grasses and brows. When they are penned up they get alfalfa and alfalfa pellets.
How many days can keep
Hi mom!
I sweetie!
if you just wanted to keep it for future "kids" do you need to do anything to it to freeze it and how long does it last?
Can it stay out of fridge like UHT milk
Buy an induction cooker. You can set the EXACT TEMPERATURE.
Can you still make cheese from it after it is pasteurized?

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.

Hi.. thanks for this video. Is your temperature degrees in Fahrenheit or Celsius?
Go to 73-74 degrees celcius
@@christinal3106can I use our Nigerian dwarfs milk?
Maybe you could get a canning funnel to use when you transfer your milk. It will help you some on clean up.

Ms. Crystal,
Have you tried making yoghurt and butter from your goats milk?
If so, how was it?
Hi. Great educational video. I am in the UK. When you said you heat it to 165 degrees, is that Fahrenheit?
165 c milk or water would be boiling a lot. So, yes, Fahrenheit. 165 f = 73.889c. Or 74c to be safe and easy.
What would you pasterze the milk to kill the good bacteria?
Love your videos! I just pasteurized my first batch of milk. Turned out my thermometer was broken and by the time I realized it, the milk had gotten to 185 degrees (maybe more). This milk is slightly thicker like cream. Is this milk bad now and if so is there something else I can use it for?
I think you started making cheese 😂
Thanks
