Re the goat milk, it doesn't separate as easily as cow's milk since it is naturally homogenized. You can let it sit for a week in the fridge and skim cream off the top but it would a LOT of milk to get enough cream to make enough butter to make it worth it. You can get a cream separator for goat milk though, but I think it's a little expensive. Sorry :/ We used to have a goat dairy so I know this first hand. Try chevre from your goat cheese. It's so easy and wonderful. Hi,

Does goats milk provide such quantities of cream? I have never tried making goats milk butter. Does goats milk provide such quantities of cream?

Have you ever made butter with goats milk? That is the only raw milk we have at the moment... Thanks so much for all your wisdom! What a God-send =) Lindsay,

I keep it in the fridge because it spoils pretty fast. Yes, it will get soft. I have never experienced a cheese smell...so I don't think that is normal. I am not really sure on that one.

I made butter last week for the first time with store bought cream to test it out. This week I used cream I skimmed off of my raw milk and it isn't changing to butter this time! I still have liquid after almost 20 min. of mixing. I used a sun tea pitcher to drain off the milk while leaving the cream on top to ladle out. I must have gotten too much milk in with my cream somehow. Any ideas on how to best separate the cream? Help! I made butter last week for the first time with store bought cream to test it out.

Personally, I like mine a sweet cream! I don't know if there is an exact timeframe of when best to consume by. I always eat all our milk before it goes sour because I don't like sour milk...even though raw sour milk is perfectly safe to eat.
