Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Hi All, I am doing an experiment with making liquid whey from my raw milk. I purchased 2 bottles of Organic Pastures raw milk. 1 whole milk and 1 lowfat. I sat them on the counter and it's been about 7 days. I noticed the lowfat bottle has a clear seperation of curd and liquid whey. The whole milk bottle has does not have as much liquid whey as the lowfat bottle infact the whole milk has very little liquid just two seperated which seems to be solid masses of curd and fat/cream? Is the liquid whey from the lowfat milk as beneficial as the liquid whey from the whole milk? I estimate the lowfat bottle has almost 2 cups of whey compared to the 1/4 cup from the whole milk bottle. Any thoughts? TIA -Vee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 once you drain the why from the curd you will be suprised how much you will end up with ( the " visable " whey you see in the bottle will end up alot mroe after straining ) which for me usually is around 8 hours through the cheesecloth _____ From: opalv214 [mailto:opalv@...] Sent: Wednesday, 10 December 2003 8:19 PM Subject: ? for Whey drinkers Hi All, I am doing an experiment with making liquid whey from my raw milk.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 I agree with that there is probably much more whey than there appears to be in the whole milk bottle. But if you aren't interested in the curd portion, I think the entirety of the fat goes into it, so the whey should be equivalent from the two sources. One of whey's values in regard to exercise is its fat-free status. Weight lifters, for example , should overall eat a high-fat diet, but should eat fat-free protein before a workout and fat-free protein and sugar immediately following the workout, and whey is an excellent (probably the best) source of low-fat protein for this purpose.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 I'm going to start getting one of my bottles of raw milk as skimmed as possible for the express purpose of making whey from it. It will yield more whey and less curd. Is there any problem with this? Tom > I agree with that there is probably much more whey than there appears > to be in the whole milk bottle.
