I know some prefer the twang peculiar to goat milk, my family is not among them, especially my suburbanite husband. My nubian's milk tastes great on day 1, fine on day 2, decent on day 3, and full of goat hair on day 4. She gets brushed, then washed prior to milking and dipped after. I milk into a clean SS pail that is set into a bucket of ice. The milk chills in the ice bucket for about 1/2 hour and is usually around 55 degrees when I strain and store it in clean mason jars in the fridge. I use the standard milk strainer and disposable filters.
How long does everyone else's milk last?
Is there anything I'm missing?
I'd love to make cheese from this stuff but all previous efforts have done nothing but highly concentrate the goaty flavor.
