How do you keep the goat taste out of the milk?

i only leave the jars in the FREEZER for 2 hours. I use the freezer to quickly cool down the milk. I shake the milk a couple of times if I think about it and then after 2 hours I stick it in the fridge.

I mix milk with the milk that was 12 hours old. Sometimes that means last night milk with this mornings.... If I get too much milk...I will get a brand new jug of water and use the water for something and use the jug for FREEZING . I can put several days in one gallon. My goat gives between 1-2 quarts at a time. If I am FREEZING a plastic jug, I will pour chilled milk over frozen milk and put it back in freezer.... until I end up with a frozen gallon.. This worked out great when I got 6 grandkids for 2 days. Just put the milk in the fridge and the next morning it was like a slushy. Awesome wonderful fresh icy MILK.

Watch out when shaking goats milk. The fats are very fragile. Try taking a cup of chilled goats milk shaking it vigorously and then drinking it the next day up against some not shaken and you will discover what I mean.

Big time! It is a quick way to get fresh goat milk to taste like goat milk that is a week old or like the stuff from the store.

Now I am kinda worried, I bought some goats milk from the store to try before getting a goat I can milk. I loved it it was so sweet and nutty compared to cows milk. So what is the milk from my goats gonna taste like?!? Will I be able to handle the goodness lol.

Be careful when you first try it fresh-squeezed from the goat.....you will swoon from all the goodness!

My Dad always says that a good practice is to bring them in and feed them some "good" hay about 30 mins before milking. He ran a cow dairy many, many moons ago, and swears by smelling their breath. He says the milk will taste like their breath smells. When he milked, he said they always saved their very best hay for "snack time" before milking. I have found some truth in his theory however, most of our milk goes back into babies so I don't get the chance to drink much of it...

Thanks for posting your Dad's "tried and true" experience. I would think what the goat ate, or cow for that matter, would affect the milk. But that fast..30 minutes. Never knew.

And as always, babies do come first. Those rotten buggers! Oh well, they are the future.
