Really only 15 min. Bought lovingly used at an awesome deal.
. Many cheeses do better with extra cream, many people use cream in coffee. There's ice cream...get the drift?
My goodness, thank you SO MUCH!! I have made butter before, both churned and with an electric blender. Goat milk butter was one of the things I wanted to make. I figured it wouldn't taste like cow cream butter, but I'm open to that. I just love butter...I have! Mine is electric, fast, great, easy to use after first scary time. Then lots and lots to wash and store.
But...always that, right? Goat butter does NOT taste like cow cream milk. Just so ya know. Yes, I set my cream out, after room temp, let it set and it will develop more flavor...6-12 hrs. Depends on temps, etc. Enzyme action happens. Then whip it, shake it, however you want. Be sure to rinse and get all whey out, otherwise it goes rancid. It will be pure white. Yes, I wanted butter! Love butter!!
Oh, yeah, back to separator. Got mine because 1) cheaper than a cow and I had many goats, whose cream doesn't separate well, like cow milk 2) because a guy 3 hrs away got rid of his goats and found no one to buy this, an expensive cheese press and some other "goat" things! I drove for a fantastic a deal!! A Cenatatop brand....but. They're all pretty much the same. A series of funnel looking pieces, assemble in a stack inside....milk in top (mine has stainless holder, 3gal capacity) spinner magically sends cream out one funnel, the milk out another. All liquids useable. Milk tastes like a 1%, cream lovely.
At time I shopped, this unit was $289. Now ? It has no other purpose but, if you have goats a good investment. Like a pressure canner ... Expensive but worth it over years.
Specific questions, just ask.
Yes ... You can get some cream to rise on goat milk after a few day in frig, undisturbed. Spoon off into another glass container, from several milkings. After a few days you will have enought to make some butter. I've shaken in jar to do, add salt, shake. Rinse. Shake etc. or you can whip with mixer... Anyway, you may want to consider doing that a few times before the big spend, to get a feel/taste for product.
@Devonviolet had/has one. Maybe she'll post experience with.
When I mentioned wanting to make it to some friends, they made it sound like it would be almost impossible to make it, no idea why. "Oooohhhh, you'll need to get a cream separator", like it was some magical invention that was nearly impossible to come by. 
Yes,, I HAD a cream separator, but sold it thee years ago after i had to sell my goats when I realized that I am allergic to goat milk.
Thank you very much for the input! I'm really open to the difference between goat milk and cow milk butter. Honestly, I usually only eat it on my home made bread, typically right from the oven. I try to make some bread at least every other day. Right now, my goat milk is going to my bottle babies, but they'll be weaned soon, then I'll be trying it out in my coffee, making cheese, etc. So happy to this input!!
