Piima milk, goat milk and lacto-fermentation

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I've been making piima milk with raw goat's milk I've been getting

locally. It's working very well! The goats have a nice pasture and

things look clean, the owner sterilizes the milk jars but I haven't

seen her setup or seen her work. I'm trusting that she is clean in

her work. I'm finding that goat milk gets " goaty " after a couple of

days, but if I culture it, it takes longer for this to happen. Cow

milk will be better with the kids, but it has reduced the consumption

of pasteurized milk here.

The cupboard over the fridge works great, and I have a jar of piima

culturing up there, and some raspberry syrup and ketchup (from the

book). I think today I'll start some sauerkraut. The mayonnaise I

made last week (with whey) is lovely - I'm really beginning to think

that whey is some kind of marvel!

This is really fun :-D
