I will have to see if the grocery store has some next time I am there. Maybe ill use a JoAnns coupon if there is one in tomorrow's paper and try the voile cloth. We have been giving the chickens milk if the goats step in it while we are milking. They love it! They also get yogurt that is just a bit past its prime.

You can drink it. And, I think you can use some to start the fermenting process for sauerkraut but I'm not sure how goat milk whey would smell with that. <br /><br />We made goat cheese using Rennet tablets from the grocery store. You find them near the ice cream making supplies. I think it was 1/4 tablet to a gallon of milk. It is very easy to do and maybe more predictable than the lemon juice. We did not pasteurize or boil our milk but just used it still warm from the goats. <br /><br />Also, I recommend Voile cloth instead of the cheese cloth for straining. The voile will last a lot longer and be easier to clean. JoAnn's has it and you can use a coupon to get just a yard and cut it to the sizes you want. <br /><br />Stringmaker<br />(Ravelry)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
