Omg you'll be SO GLAD you bought this. We regularly make butter from our goat's cream. And I cannot wait to eventually make ice cream!
We store ours in our shed. It gets a good rinse before using again. I might put a pillowcase over it.
Good idea on the pillow case!
So, the first time I tried to make butter, it never turned into butter it whipped till the end of eternity and was just a heavy, heavy whipped cream. I donât know what to do with it now! And I donât know why it didnât turn into butter! I made sure the temp on it was a good temp to turn into butter and everything! đ€·đŒââïž
@@DelcifromALifeofHeritage I've accidentally made whipped butter before too. It did eventually break but it was not like butter I had made before. I have no idea what caused it. I have found that thoroughly chilled cream works best for making butter. Some directions say to let it come up to room temp but I have had issues with that.
We've had one about two years now. I've found run goat milk through slowly. Like when you open the handle to let the milk flow only open it a little less than halfway. And in the screw turn it all the way in then back it out one and one quarter turns. That should yield about one quart of cream to three gallons of milk. Cream will be slightly thicker than store bought cream. If you want heavy cream back the screw out just one full turn. Make sure the nut you tighten with the wrench is really tight. And btw if you have trouble getting the hub off after using it. Just be sure ya don't leave any soap residue on the plastic spindle end. Just from my experience. Hope that helps
We have the same cream separator! We love it, and we never have bolted it down lol
Good to know Iâm not the only one who didnât bolt it down đ itâs been fine without that! And so glad you love it too!
@@DelcifromALifeofHeritage I have to separate cream today, in fact!
my bucket list is the same haha! i love it!
Yay Delci!! So nice to see a new video. I have never seen that type of separater so this was very interesting to see. I hope it turns out to be an exceptional piece of equipment for you. I sooo enjoy your videos!! See you soon!! đâ€ïžđđŒ
Hi Jerry! It makes getting cream sooo easy! I love it! Hope you and your family are doing well!
How exciting! It is on my wish list!
I hope youâre able to get one!
Thanks for doing a review! We only have one goat in milk now but hope to have all 3 next year in milk so a cream separator is most definitely on the bucket list!
A good item to add to the bucket list for sure! It makes it so easy to get cream from goatâs milk! đȘđ»
its on my bucket list too!
We have the BEST bucket lists!! đ€Łđ
Your videos are the greatest!
Thank you, thank you!
I like your bucket list. Sounds like my bucket list...đđ
A bucket list that keeps growing and growing and growing... đŻđđđ€Ł
I totally hear ya about having a bucket list of homestead supplies.
Why does the bucket list keep getting longer and longer...? đ©đ
Here's some tips. Wait till your milk is almost to temperature to run your hot water through the separator. Leave it running, then run the warm milk through. Also, it really isn't necessary to bolt down unless ya'll are accident prone.
Well...we probably are accident prone lol but I havenât bolted it down and itâs not been a problem. I also havenât been running water through it each use either. Do you do that every time you use it?
@@DelcifromALifeofHeritage yes, it warms up the cream separator so the cream flows through better.
@@AGirlAndHerDogz Thanks!
@@Kathleen67. very welcome!
Thank you for being so great, i was literally almost in tears over my milk separator, its also close to my "shark week" LOL.
So thankful for another video! Missed you! My new goats are home (got two angoras) and I am shearing them this weekend! I grew up with fiber animals (mostly sheep) and am so happy to have some fiber goats on my homestead. I have a manual cream separator that i have bolted to a very large tree stump that we use! Tricky to get going but when it does it will do a lot!
How did the shearing go?? đ
@@DelcifromALifeofHeritage it went really well! I am a little out of practice since I was a kid but the goaties were champs! Thanks so much for asking!
Itâs excited to see what I can accomplish with my milk.
Looks like a quality item. Like you said, probably needs adjustments tweaked. It would definitely be wonderful to have that capability of easily making cream/butter.đđđ€
The cream is so nice to have! Experimenting with it now is fun too! đ
Ok. Just a quick justification for high hay prices. If farmer must make a certain amount to live and one year has tons of hay to sell, he can sell it for less and still pay the bills. But next year, there is a severe drought, he still has the same bills and but less hay so, naturally supply and demand requires the farmer to sell hay at a high price. Itâs not unfair. Itâs not overpriced. Itâs just hard reality.
The really hard reality is that next year the hay sellers wonât have anyone to sell hay to.
Ranchers are offloading cows like crazy right now because they canât afford the hay their cows need to get through winter.
The high prices we are seeing arenât the âletâs finally make a profitâ, itâs âweâre going to gouge the life out of this whole thing so we can take advantage.â
In hard times, the ag community needs to come together so we can keep ag going, not completely shut it all down because of greed.
But it may be different in other parts. But the profit of ag is really low anyway. Add in insanely high hay prices and many go severely in the hole.
But youâre right, we need to watch and pray. Continually and unceasingly
I donât buy hay by the ton for 7 goats. My advice is probably already what most small farmers already do: find a local farmer, get to know that person. Support local farmers. My hay is bought by the bale. If I bought it at tractor supply or another store⊠13$/square bale. If I go to one farmer he only sells square bales for 200$ for 21 bales.
My friend who grows hay sells his for 7$ a bale BUT if I pick it up off the field he charges 5$ a bale. So I can save 100$ buying 20 bales from him. Iâm getting my hay from a local farmer and itâs never sprayed with anything. Itâs good quality hay. Iâm making goat milk ice cream with his wife because we are friends since Iâve been buying hay from them. Itâs nice to be part of a community of people who take care of each other.
Love your family from Algeria
đđ» hello!
@@DelcifromALifeofHeritage love you
I have the same model cream separator and I have not had very good luck figuring out how to set the screw set for the cream separated properly. No matter what I do, I end up with a lot of cream in my skim milk side. So if you figure it out, I love for you to share it!
We have a German style wardrobe/cabinet that we store all of our milking pails, rags, milk test supplies etc. It's in my kitchen and is where I put the cream separator.
Hmm. Have you reached out to the company? Mine seems to be separating well. I did turn it to be the most cream tightness.
I recommend setting it to the highest setting and just dilute the cream with skim milk if you would like some of the cream to be not so thick.
The cream to milk ratio with such units are from 1: 10 to 4 : 10, meaning you can get anywhere from 1 to 4 gallons of cream from 10 gallons of milk. This of course depends on the milk as well. Please also mind that this is not a professional unit and the calculations are approximate.
Regarding the settings, when the little screw is flash with the plastic disc, it is the middle setting. the ratio will be about 2 :10
From that position, turning the screw clockwise one full or one and a half full turn will get you the highest setting. You will get the least of cream amount but it will be very thick
(1:10)
From the flush position turning the screw counterclockwise one or one and a half turns will give you a lot of cream but it will not be thick ream (4:10)
â@@SlavicBeauty I love that you've watched this and commented!
Hi Delci, I am late seeing this video and have been looking an update through the comments? Were you able to make the butter? what did you do to accomplish it, knowing that this first time you couldn't get to make it? thank you. I love the binder, it has been all for me and my goat management!
Yep we had a major amount of foam as well. But nothing turn to butter. Not sure what we did wrong but will try again.
You remind me of a dear friend Alex from Idaho many many years ago.
A good memory.
I actually had to scrape butter out of mine... maybe too tight but my nigerians milk is like rich.. i like it...
Mmmm! Thatâs wonderful! What do you make with yours?
What a wonderful video review! Thank you for making it and posting it. I loved your other videos as well and subscribed to your channel.
I see that commenters below answered your question about the foam at the end. It is just froths from separation and it will go down and you will have regular skim milk.
However, should you have any other questions or need spare parts, I will be happy to assist
Hey Slavic beauty. I have the latest version of your milk cream separator. Iâm just getting started with it. I wanted a manual one but yours is not. Do you make one?
â€
â@@lauraleedavid9955
Exciting! Good luck with your new toy. I have thought about a separator but not to that point yet. Have fun making all of your yummy treats! Do you ever pasturize your milk? Would you do it before or after the separation?
I never do pasteurize it
And ...Iâd think it would be pasteurized before anything was done with it đ€
It has been a fun toy đ
An alternative to goat feed. So excited. Do you have an abundance of trees? Or land to plant fast growing trees? Look into tree hay! Actually just learned about it and got pretty excited as I have a forest of trees in my back yard!
Yay congratulations!!đ Iâve been wanting to get one. Where did you get yours from?
I got it from the Slavic Beauty website directly :)
Oh! The reason I watched this- weâve been talking about getting a cream separator all year because the whole reason we even got our first dairy goat was because one of our kids cannot tolerate anything from cow milk, including butter. He thrives on goat milk though! Unfortunately, heâs two and doesnât understand the need to avoid cow dairy products, so we have had to omit it from the whole familyâs diet for now. Would LOVE to have butter for everyoneâs toast again.
Do you think youâll try adding cream to yogurt?
How is it going with the goat milk?
Iâm delayed in responding to this!
I havenât added cream back into yogurtâŠyetâŠmight be worth a try!
Can you give an update on the cream separator? Thanks
Where you able to ever figure out the goat butter?
Please tell me which brand yours is. I want one so much but there are so many.
Its foam and delish in coffee!
What kind of goats do you have?
I was thinking about getting one, but hesitated because they seemed super expensive unless you bought it from Amazon and then some of the reviews made me rethink. Where did you get it from?
I want so bad to make butter from my goats! I'm curious to see how much cream I would get from them. I love Hadassah's face when you're asking about the foam and her little eyebrows are pulled together like she's concentrating really hard!!! She cracks me up!
So far Iâm happy with it âșïž
I did buy directly from the company.
Slavic Beauty is the brand.
Howâve you been???
@@DelcifromALifeofHeritage it's been crazy here, same as everywhere else, but God is in control for sure. I'm doing ok, so is the rest of the family. I sent you out a letter today so be looking for it đ. I've missed writing back and forth. I love all the new things that you're doing!
@@kristastanley6792
Thatâs so crazy you say that! I was at the post office today and I specifically thought, âI need to find Kristaâs address and mail off a letter!â
You just are faster than me! đ
I can wait! đ
@@DelcifromALifeofHeritage great minds....đ I have to confess though, I've started to write your a few different times and either got distracted and lost the paper, or decided it sounded too humdrum and depressing and decided to not finish it. I'm happy with this one and finally got a stamp on it! Sometimes being a perfectionist really bites. Lol
Not for me. However, I am with you on the bucket list. Things to make me more self-sufficient. As for the hay, I just bought a scythe and am still learning how to use it. As slow as I am, it is still faster than the hand sickle. I am cutting as much alfalfa as possible during the spring/summer/early fall because even here in Chile, the price of hay has skyrocketed.
That is so cool about the scythe! What work! I canât believe hay this year! đ€ŠđŒââïž
I keep adding to my bucket list đŹ
I keep wondering if I need to get to the point where I get to the end of a bucket list or if I chalk it all up as dreaming and growing as I add more!
Is there a link?
Iâm not sure. I have gotten one but our doe want be in milk until the next few days
De unde pot sal cumpar si cit costa ?
I have thought about getting a cream separator! What do you do with the skim milk? I've been wondering about little David too! Is he ok?
Weâve been drinking the skim just like the whole. And Iâve made cheese with it too đ
Also, Davidâs update video went up today đ
This is a question that is often asked by people with a cream separator: what to do with skim milk? There is so much you can do actually: use it for cooking, drink it, make cream and cottage cheese, ferment it and use for baking, making cheeses etc. We regularly post videos on our channel to help people with ideas
Does yours leak? Every single time we try it ..it leaks milk out of the skim milk tray
I only have had it leak a couple times when I didn't have it together properly. One time I forgot to put in that white, oval thing in the inside of it and it leaked bad. But when it's together correctly, I've had no problems. Have you reached out to the company to ask?
@@DelcifromALifeofHeritage If your using cool/cold milk they seem to leak also having the flow of milk set too fast will cause it to leak. Warming the separator before use makes a huge difference in performance. Have had different brands of separators over the years but found Slavic beauty to be the best for the money and the separator in the video is the brand and use and prefer. Customer service is excellent and they are always willing to give helpful advice. I have lost my set screw and have run it without it several times but do need to get another. Highly recommend this product.
@@eternalbliss1168 thank you for sharing this!
What cream separator did you get? I might have missed it said in video with my loud little people. đ
âSlavic Beautyâ is what I chose!
Enjoy those little loud people! đ„°
If you heat up the milk does it get a â goatyâ flavour?
No it doesn't it is bacteria that causes the goaty flavor not the act of actual heating.
We've discovered the goaty flavor is due to feed and the particular goat. Some goats just have goaty milk
That's what she said.
$260 for a half ton bail here now! Insane!
Yea it froths after it is done. The froth will settle in the fridge and become skim again. It isn't cream!
I finally figured that out đ it was so crazy how thick it was!
@@DelcifromALifeofHeritage for sure!
Yes, it is just froths
I've had one for several years, but mine is plastic. I store mine in a cupboard, but not assembled. The foam on your milk should disappear.
So far, mine has found the top of the fridge. Not sure if thatâs itâs final resting point though đ€
Is goats milk an acquired taste? Is it only people who eat extremely healthy lifestyles who cares for the taste of goats milk. Reason being of asking is I tried goats milk from a friend in Az many years ago and it was not very pleasant and had a smell like a the scent of the actual goat. I dunno it was just very strange maybe itâs because she didnât do ANYTHING to it or refrigerate or is it SUPPOSED to sit out? I hear many of you say on the videos that after just a few short days its no more good that the taste gets yuk and gotta be thrown out. Can you please give me clarity on this because my farm is around the corner and id be noce to do a full circle with my goats and utilize the milk if I can but I have a PICKY family who doesnât eat healthy AT ALL except a salad here and there but I am the more healthy eater and work out person although I dont eat perfect id be the only one crazy enough to taste the goats milk, I dont think I canât convince them to try it! Here in the south we have too much seafood catching family and lifestyle to get them to switch from store bought cows milk to raw goats milk? Fingerâs crossed đ€ I can get them to try it!!! Thanks God Bless Delci keep the awesome videos coming.
It has to be refrigerated. I have always been told the faster You get it cold the better the taste. My goat milk has always been delicious and people are surprised how good it tastes.
@@skitzkle ThanksâŠ.I am definitely going to try it again once I get my goat
@@floraledet6973 Milk into a small sauce pan with no rivets inside and dump into a bigger bucket with ice packs in it frequently so if the goat Knocks into the bucket you donât lose it all! The sauce pan is nice for the long handle also makes it easier to grab quickly if you think Goats going to kick it
@@skitzkle Thanks for all the infoâŠ.I ask a lot of questions, I am like Delci I speak detailed so I want a lot of details. Thats how I learn. I am a very observant person. So I guess thats where my crazy deep thinking comes from lol
I raised my family on goats milk and lamb meat! I am a big fan of milk so I canât tell the difference. I have had people taste my goats milk and they are surprised it tastes like MILK! Lol
As much as you will use the cream separator, I would keep it on the counter.
Yup! Thatâs exactly where it is! đđ
