Do NOT throw out the whey left over from cheesemaking. It can be boiled again and made into ricotta or boiled all the way down into fudge cheese (Gjetost).
even with no extra processing, i've used the whey from strained yoghurt in place of water for breads and soups . Free extra protein, a little flavour depth and no waste :)

@@jesusmywholehaschanged I think thier website is linked in the video description and you can search on thier website from there. Very easy to find. Thier website is very nice.
so amazing. We are in the process of packing up our home in California. It sold last Monday! Moving to out homestead in Ohio and I definitely plan to order the master class and get started. I'll be starting with grocery store milk until we find a milk share and then graduate to our own milk cow. Such exciting times for our family and watching your videos has given us so much inspiration!
Don't forget that the whey, poured off from the curds, is amazing for use in bread making. Just substitute it for your milk and/or water in the formulation.
I worked nights when my family got their milk cow, so on my weekends, I'd spend my time while they were asleep making 2-4 pounds of cheese. Some of the whey we'd use in the garden as a tea fertilizer, and some I'd give to my dog as a treat once it cooled.
My dad has been telling me about my grandma. How she took raw milk from their cows and made what you are. They never butchered a cow. They had pigs, chickens and rabbits for meat. A turkey or two. She made corn bread and biscuits but no loaf bread. Saturdays they had hot dogs and little bottles of coke a cola. The good ole days...

@@tama3442 Hell isn’t biblical. A place where God burns sinners forever is a manmade lie. 1 John 4:8 says God is love. A loving God would not do such a thing, and to say it makes God sound evil and frightening. The punishment for sinners is the same as Adams punishment. Genesis 3:19 - “In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.” 😊🙏🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿
@@debrajessen7975 This isn't a theological discussion, but since you seem to be so misled, I can't help but respond. The Bible says your "worm" never dies (Mark 9:42-48). That is your soul. You have to make up your mind where that soul will spend eternity. The Bible and Jesus clearly DO discuss a "hellish" place. Jesus repeatedly states that individuals may be in jeopardy of this damnation. Hell in the Old Testament is mentioned 65 times and is referred to as Sheol. Even the Psalmist (Psalm 9:17) says that the wicked will be turned into hell. The word Tartarus, used only once in the New Testament, literally means to be cast into hell. Hell is also referred to as Gehenna which was a physical place--a trash dump more or less--with fires that never stopped burning. This was a comparison. Finally, there is Hades, which is referred to at least four times in Revelation. It is clearly a place and a place that will be inhabited by evil, unbelieving souls. I guess you could more accurately say that we they will be burning forever in Sheol. But, to say that sinners won't burn would be propagating a lie. Just like the lie Satan told Eve in the garden, twisting the Word of God to suit his evil purpose. She and Adam did die a spiritual death and went on to die a mortal death. This wasn't God's plan. Eve wanted to believe the lie, because it was "prettier" to her; that she could partake in sin with no repercussions. She believed Satan that God was the liar and that is what you are doing here. A loving God is a fair and just God. He cannot forget those who love Him and then reward evil. God's love is what gives us free will to make the choices. He allows us to choose sin and evil because forced love is not true love. He wants us to choose to love Him. God isn't worried about how He sounds to the sinner. He hates sin. He wants us all to choose to love Him and to repent of our sin. We are body, soul, and spirit. Once our body dies it will decay, but our spirit and soul will continue. Please remember the character of that original sin and don't fall victim to Satan's lies. Read His Word for yourself. No need to respond. You can't change what the Bible clearly states with your loose man-centered interpretation. Changing the Word and its meaning puts you in jeopardy. Don't be the person that causes another to stumble. I just wanted to give you something to think about.
@@dschaffin Are you claiming that every time the Bible mentions hell, it is referring to a fiery place of torment? Because Acts 2:27 & 31 is telling us about our Lord Jesus was not left in hell, nor his flesh seeing corruption. Should we believe Jesus Christ was in a burning place of torment for three days between his death and resurrection? The translators of the KJV have translated the Hebrew word Sheol and the Greek word Hades sometimes as hell, sometimes as grave and sometimes as pit. I rather think Jesus was in his grave for three days. And when the Bible mentions Sheol or Hades, it is just referring to mankinds common grave. When you know that Jesus was talking about about a literal rubbish dump that was outside of Jerusalem when he talked about Gehenna, I don’t really understand why you believe he was using it to prove that a burning place of punishment awaits sinners. No Jew believed that there was life in the grave after death. Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10 - Ezekiel 18:4 - Psalm 146:3. All sinners will receive that same punishment as Adam. They will return to the dust - Genesis 3:19 - with no hope of a resurrection. Adam and Eve have already received their judgment, unrepentant sinners will be judged when our Lord Jesus Christ comes in his glory - Matthew 25:31-46. Jesus used Gehenna as a symbol of everlasting destruction. At the dump the worms would consume what the fire didn’t. Carcasses, or dead criminals that were not deemed worthy of burial were thrown there. But nothing living, especially not human, was ever thrown there. We can see this from Jesus’ words recorded at Luke 12:5, he said: “I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear ; fear him, WHICH AFTER HE HATH KILLED HATH POWER TO CAST INTO HELL...” Sinners will not be alive somewhere being tortured. They will simply be cut off. Gehenna is just as symbolic as the lake of fire mentioned in the book of Revelation. How can we see it is symbolic? Because Revelation 20:13, 14 says that death and hell - mankinds common grave - are going to be cast into the lake of fire. Death and hell are not entities that can be picked up, thrown anywhere, or burned. Death is the condition we inherited from Adam - Romans 5:12. But God has promised that death will be done away with - Revelation 21:4. Therefore, when the graves are emptied there will not be anyone dying the Adamic death, and thus no more need for graves. Also in Revelation 20:14 and Revelation 21:8 the scriptures explain what the lake of fire means. It says `it means the second death’. 😊🙏🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿

I used to let some of my homemade yogurt sit to drain in the fridge after 24 hours it was the consistency and tasted about like Philadelphia cream cheese. It is amazing what you can make from milk
Somehow, watching you timestack these projects (& noticing how most of the 2hrs was devoted to the hard cheese) made me realize what I realistically wanted to make for my family! Thank you, I can't tell you how helpful & encouraging I found this to be; I think I may invest in a milk share now, especially if I can get 4-9 fresh dairy products in under 2hrs a week! I'll probably cut out the hard cheese & yogurt to make kefir, clotted cream (in the microwave), & ghee for cooking instead; oh & of course coffee creamer
Do you have a link to the clotted cream in the microwave? I love clotted cream but it’s super expensive in Germany and making it the traditional way with 18h just is t possible for me.
I made a mistake 9 years ago when I bought my house...I was choosing between 5 acres and a mobile and a brick house in a subdivision. I regret it so much! I would have had my own well and septic along with critters and garden spot! Here I am limited to raised bed gardens and no critters. Now I can't afford to buy land now.
Your the best. Here's why. My daughters got a jersey cow in milk. I started milking by hand the day Matilda arrived that was February. Son bought me a two teat milker. Thank goodness. I know nothing about a jersey cow. This is all knew to me. Your video was a god send. Organized, you communicated it beautifully. Thank ever so much. I now have direction.
Very cool, thank you for sharing. Traditionally, the dairy has always been one of the most respected ways a woman could earn some income for herself. It's so nice to see you keeping tradition alive, and I hope someday your children may enjoy continuing it, too.

Hi Carolyn, nice to see how you make all those different products. And I find it interesting that you do it differently than how I learned it. The time when the curd has to be stirred, I always sing:) We have had a dairy goat farm and I have professionally processed dairy from goat and also cow's milk. Now we are homesteaders with a small group of dairy goats and I do everything in miniature. Only goat's milk butter is a bit more difficult, I would like to try that with cow's milk. I also don't understand why people give a thumbs down. Greetings from the Netherlands.
They give thumbs down because they like all the unhealthy additives that are added to commercial cheeses and don't want to take the time to enjoy the work of making cheese. I've been making homemade cheese for years and enjoy the process.
I have found if you culture cream- 1 tbsp keifer grains per 1 qt cream. Let sit with a lid on the jar, undisturbed, for 12 hours- it makes amazing butter and it whips so much more quickly.
I use whey to make fermented sour kraut and other fermented foods. You can use whey in bread making instead of water. Plus whey can be frozen to be used later.
I've lived in Idaho for 2 weeks, and just got home from picking up my first 4 gallons of milk, and have the sourcream/buttermilk pasteurizing. I've made yogurt and some fresh farm cheeses before, so I'm not too concerned. I came back to this video for reference first. Thanks for putting this information out there.
You are amazing! I am retired with no children living at home, I am always trying to find more time. I often think, "How do they do it with homeschooling, animals, and all the other things that needs to get done?"
I second that! I would love a cook book/ herbal and homesteading tips like nutrition, cold weather and cattle, weaning bottle feeding and issues when calving or farrowing

I've made yogurt and cheese out of milk that I bought from the store yogurt you can make by just putting yogurt into a thing of milk and leaving it out overnight and then refrigerate in the morning covered At room temperature the cultures develop just cover it with a cloth
You make it look so easy wishing I could find raw milk …used to drive over the state line to South Carolina with like minded people twice a month to get organic products…need to find a willing farmer once again…thank you for sharing…
That was incredible! I really enjoyed this video and learned so much. We are so conditioned to think we have to buy, and cannot make, the basic foods we eat. I honestly couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the butter, and it looked delicious. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. God bless, from England.
I shake cream in a glass jar and make butter. It's a workout that's worth it: delicious butter! Buttermilk is delicious to drink, or added to pancake recipes. 😊
Carolyn, I used to make yogurt by heating the milk to 110, then added a tbsp of active yogurt to quart jars, top it off with the warm milk, then I'd set them in a clean cooler with hot tap water in it...about halfway up the sides of the jars. 10 hrs later, we'd have yogurt!! Now, I buy buttermilk from the store and when there's half an inch left, I add milk to it, shake it up, cover it with a paper towel and set out overnight and it's done! I did this every week on the same jug just using up what was left, for 2 months straight until I tossed it and started over. It's super thick like yogurt or sour cream, and usually after the first time, the tang goes away and it really tastes like a good plain yogurt.
This is GREAT! I’m amazed at how much you did in 2 hours! I will definitely be coming back to watch this again when we start getting milk from our own cow in a few months 😁
Ty for this lesson. You can make super easy cream cheese with whole milk and lemon as well. And dont forget easy mozzerella and ricotta(twice cooked) and cottage cheese! Give the kids or grands a jar of heavy cream.with a new washer or marble if you have and seal good. Let them shake that up into great butter. Girlscouts was an awesome experience back in the day learning practical skills....
I.have lived in Ohio for 55 years and I love it. With the changing of seasons and the people are great. There are a lot of Amish and farmers to reach out to if you ever need help. They are very helpful and friendly.
Thank you so much! We just discovered a local dairy farm and discussed getting fresh milk this week! This is very timely for us. Even better, the children fell asleep in the van and i was able to take notes on this very well done video sitting in our driveway! 😊 I truly appreciate this bit of education, as I have been ignorant to most of the things we should already know ;-)
This was most excellent in all respects, a lot of information conveyed concisely & easy to follow, no getting confused between the different projects. Plus, your enthusiastic presentation is inspiring. Well done you! I like that you tackled them all at the same time, it's how i like to do things, not one after the other. If i'm prepping veggies for a stew, i usually do a few extra & make a spaghetti sauce & soup too. I spend a little more time in the kitchen, but not as much if i did them on different days & it gives me a few days with no need to cook.
I have two dairy cows and a big family, so i usually do less at once, but bigger batches, but i still learned a lot watching this video! I have found getting the saltiness just right for cheese to be hard (our water is high in sodium, so brines are harder to make)and i liked watching you salt the curds for cheddar. I would love a follow up on caring for your cheese s as they age - do you wash the rinds? Or vacuum pack? Looking forward to the workshops this week too! Thank you!
So excited to try! I’ve done the butter but next I’ll be trying sour cream/buttermilk. Can you explain how to get the “home cultured buttermilk” or “buttermilk starter culture” needed for this recipe? Will be joining your master class asap!
I just wish I could afford the items you use. I am trying to make as much food products at home as I can. My husband and I have a good size garden and I do can every year but this year I am getting a pressure canner so I can do meats. I actually bought stuff to try to make my own butter. My husband and I have been living in my parents home a year and a half, on top of a mountain in Virginia, we are doing everything we can to be self sufficient . I am 63
Raw milk is too expensive where I live to use for anything more than fresh drinking. Our first “freshening” for our goats is coming up in a month or so and I’m looking forward to being able to have milk for the price of feed. For those who do not have an instapot use a hard sided cooler filled with hot water (my hot tap is about 115F, so it works fine), set your jars of cultured milk in there and it will hold a decent temp for about 10-12 hrs. I like to make 24hr yogurt but my brother makes 36hr yogurt!
I'm glad I live in a country where we produce some of the best dairy in the world and our pasteurised milk is still fresh and tastes analogous to raw milk because it's not UHT and only pasteurised at the minimum temperatures for a few seconds. It's also literally a third of the price. It's simply not viable to actually purchase for anything other than drinking, to really do what his woman does, you'd have to trade with a farmer or get your own dairy animals if you want to use raw milk for these products.
I’m down a yt rabbit hole... I don’t know how I (lactose intolerant) got to homestead and cheese making 🤔😂 but it was very therapeutic and you voice is so calming ♥️
I’ve learned so much from watching your channel I’ve grown up in cities so I get most of my food from supermarkets. However growing up I did spend a lot of time in my grandparents garden where they would grow a lot of the wrong food and spend some time in my grandfathers workshop and my grandmothers kitchen. It’s funny to me now that I’m an older guy I think I want to have my own little Homestead now instead of living in cities. So watching your channel I learn a lot and how to make my own food. I do remember something that was taught to me by my great grandmother perhaps it’s something you could implement for your food storage. My grandmother taught me how to make evaporated and condensed milk. When can correctly it can last on the shelf for a couple of years perfect for the winter time when the cows are not producing as much. With the condensed milk my grandmother would use it straight out of the can in coffee‘s to sweeten and cream the mob or she would use it in baking recipes that requires some dairy and sugar. She would use the evaporated milk and much the same way but for recipes that didn’t require sugar has evaporated milk is unsweetened that’s the difference between the two. She would even add evaporated milk to creamy soup recipes like her delicious creamy mushroom soup or creamy veg. Typical Irish cooking. Perhaps this is something you can do if you don’t need cheese or sour cream and you have enough in your fridge you could make yourself up some batches of evaporated and condensed milk. I have to say the things I learned from my grandparents and great grandmother I’m still using today.
Will you be running this masterclass again. I’m a few months into dairy goats and have farmers cheese down but would love to expand my cheese making ability. I love your work and gentle demeanor. You are a gift!
Thank you so so much for this! I keep coming back over and over as I work on getting my dairy routine worked out. Thank you for this timely, valuable, organized teaching!
So love your channel. this seems so easy to watch, but for people like us who's in the learning stage and future homesteaders looks very challenging. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent work keeping your cool and getting it all done, especially when the butter was taking longer than normal - which totally happens! I make a lot of my own dairy goodies but I definitely don't do it as calmly and collected as you - more like a chicken with its head cut off! Thanks for the video.
WOW! I'm only 5 minutes in and I had to stop and give you a thumbs up...In fact I don't think I've ever given a more deserved like...your are totally gifted and SO inspiring 😊...thank you for taking the time to share this process, all of them lol
I admit that I really like the way that you've stream-lined the process of making everything. I tend to spend more active time just on my cheese making that you did on making everything. If you capture the whey from the cheddar cheese, you can use that as your starter the next time instead of the using yogurt or buttermilk. When I make yogurt, I'll add a draining step to make Greek style yogurt; the whey from draining the yogurt could also be used. The whey from the fresh cheese cannot be used since it was heated to the point that the cultures were killed.
My OB told me "Babies are made from vitamins C and Cholesterol, C to help lay down calcium for bone, and Cholesterol is the fat that coats all the nerves". Pickles are a fake craving for Vitamin C, baked potatoes and butter and sour cream give both, baked is the only way a potato has more C than an orange, other cooking methods destroy it.Your dairy craving is probably for the fat, and may be the calcium.
@@charlanpennington3989 I have nausea all the time and dairy (especially cottage cheese) is the only thing I can eat with pleasure, and other things without any or strong flavour. Thanks for Your advice and now I want a potato🤣
This is a fantastic video thank you. I’ve always wanted to know how to do this. Just FYI in case you wanted to make buttermilk on the fly for a recipe, put 1 tbsp white vinegar in a measuring cup and then fill up the measuring cup to the 1 cup line with milk. Stir and let sit for 5 mins, you’re good to go.
TH-cam and Instagram algo keep telling me about buttermaking. I don't use a lot of butter but...I would if it was homemade and cinnamon flavored. Might have to give this a go!!
I love all your videos! Thank you for sharing all your wonderful knowledge. We just had the potato and ham soup that I learned to make and pressure can from the class I took from you. I am gardening now for second year and am having 'green' dreams. You know when you dream about planting your garden. :) I am using a lot of things that I have learned from your husband as well. You folks are changing the world, one person, one family at a time. Blessings!
Need to find yourself a cave for that cheese! Just visited Cheddar (the original place where cheddar cheese comes from in UK) and bought some cheese that had been aged in the caves there. So delicious! Bought some hard goats cheese too 😋
Amazing, such a simple amount of knowledge lost to modern society. I wish I had the time for me to live and learn more. Good luck on your journey through life and God bless you for sharing your knowledge ❤️.
When I need inspiration, I always end up on your channel. Well, I like Luli's channel too. She's Russian and my granny came from the Borderlands of Poland. My gramps was German and her "ways" are very familiar to me, despite the fact that my family's been in Oklahoma since the Landrun of 1889, some thing's are just in your bones.
Thank you for your enthusiasm, Carolyn. I can buy raw milk from my co-op, but just for clarity, did you pasteurize both the fresh farm and cheddar cheeses here? Also, I don't have a family, but I would love to share cheese that I make by hand with friends and colleagues. Is it possible to press smaller rounds of cheese at the same time in the type of press you have, or is it only designed for one larger round? Thanks for making everyday dairy doable!
@@willowriverranch7965 all people have different taste. I embrace individuality. I'm an immigrant and I appreciate the freedom of choice in a free country.
Kinda wish there was a blog post with the individual steps for each product or separate videos. It’s really cumbersome to come back and look for the yogurt process or the buttermilk process when they are all mixed together. Yogurt turned out lovely though, thanks.
That was just amazing! I always thought it would be alot more difficult to make all those products but you make it look easy. Im going to try to make everything. Thankyou for teaching us.
This may sound kooky but watching you make these things? I found it very peaceful and encouraging. I'm sure it's bc I was watching your experience showing, so I am extra pleased I bought your cheese class. Thanks!
Glad you did this so I didn't have to. You have done your research on "how to do a presentation". All the way back to the TV days. There was a character with a million dollar shop who said " just just just" on any move as if it made it so simple... Simple with a shop few could posess. A
I can't wait to sign up for the dairy class! I have been following your advice from a pantry chat a while back and have slowly been building my homesteading skills before we buy our homestead. Our family can't believe how much better eggs taste fresh from our own chickens. I can't wait to try the taste of homemade dairy products!
What an incredibly interesting and important video! I’m amazed at how easy and uncomplicated you made the process to making all of these dairy products! I was raised on real raw milk that my Mom milked from our Jersey cow named Daisy when I was growing up . My Mom didn’t make anything out of the milk such as dairy products unless she made buttermilk but I don’t ever remember her setting any milk on the counter and allowing it to sour overnight etc.. I think she just put a tbsp of vinegar into a cup of raw milk to make her buttermilk.. we just drank up all the milk and cooked with it and I think she sold a few gallons to friends every once in a while but mainly we drank that delicious rich milk! I think what you have done is absolutely amazing! Now I just wish there was some raw milk available to purchase in my area that I live in . I live in Lonoke AR so if anyone that knows of anyone close to my area that sells raw milk please leave a comment to me ! Thanks for showing us how you made all of your dairy goodie’s! Blessings!💕
Thank you so much,god bless you 😍 I'm looking forward to possibly moving to New Mexico and buying some homestead property , I've never done anything like this but have been somewhat raised around livestock , but nothing like what you got going on ,your literally my life support of knowledge, that I'm going to need to get my family and generations to come and leave them with self sufficient life 😍I've got lots to learn and instill into my children,grand children ECT 😁😀
I have been milking goats for almost 20 years. My kids got into raising dairy goats in 4H & FFA. The kids are grown and gone but I've kept the goats. I make soap, lotion, several cheeses, yogurt, etc. But I recently became the caretaker of 2 miniature Jersey milk cows. I'm excited to do some of the dairy products that simply don't work as well with goat milk. I'm enjoying cultured butter, mozzarella that stretches? Yes please! I'm so grateful to have found your channel.
Jelly in my fruit steamer, Cubed potatoes in the water bath, ground low fat lamb in the pressure canner, 8# seasoned zucchini slices in the dehydrator, cucumbers in huge bucket of lime water......🤭🤭🤭
I've started making paneer and yoghurt, which is easy enough as I can heat the milk for both at the same time. Does the fact that your milk is full-fat make the yoghurt less runny, or does it depend on the starter cultures? I hope I can start getting milk from a local dairy farm soon.
Yoghurt gets it's thickness from both the bacterial culture and the degree it is strained. I've had both whole and skimmed milk yoghurts that were the consistency of whipped cream. The fat content of the milk has no impact on the thickness or runniness of the final product.
Homemade Cheese From Store Bought Milk! 1. How long. Need to leave the cheese on the shelf until it is ready? 2. How long can a ready-made cheese be without a refrigerator? 3. Where is the best place to leave the cheese. Or the yogurt we made? 4. Do you have to put the cheese or yogurt in the fridge? Thank you
Great video! Wish you had gone to explain a bit on how to use whey, since it's so extremely healthy for us and many people seem to just discard it. So, allow me to add this information: it's full of vitamins (particularly the B kind) and minerals, when you drink it, it detoxicates our bodies, supports metabolism, kidneys, and lowers cholesterol, when you bath in it, it nurtures our skin, supports blood flow, it helps against certain skin ailments, and it can help against wrinkles, and it's completely safe for pregnant women and can help them against storing up water, so definitely do not throw it away!
Whey does not "detoxicate" anything. Your organs do that. Whey is delicious and healthy, but spouting some sort of disingenuous nonsense as if it's got all kinds of magical properties is unnecessary. Like any other healthy foods, just being honest about the nutritional composition is enough. Making unsubstantiated claims just makes you look stupid.

I love the large pot you used to make your cheddar cheese!🧀 It has such a cool shape with a high dome on the lid.❤ I've never seen anything like it before. Can you please tell me where I can find one like it? Thank you for such great videos! ❤
You are so lucky, we can’t purchase raw milk where I live “for my own safety” it is really to keep the dairy farmers here limited so they can sell Quebec dairy products first. We live in Alberta Canada
Do NOT throw out the whey left over from cheesemaking. It can be boiled again and made into ricotta or boiled all the way down into fudge cheese (Gjetost).
Great tip ,Thanks!
It can also be used to make a fermented Scandinavian drink
even with no extra processing, i've used the whey from strained yoghurt in place of water for breads and soups . Free extra protein, a little flavour depth and no waste :)
It is also great in bread. Just replace the water amount with whey.
I make my bread with it as well and when I use it for banana breads or cakes I notice the batter is soooo much fluffier!!

Don't forget that the whey, poured off from the curds, is amazing for use in bread making. Just substitute it for your milk and/or water in the formulation.
What a great tip! Thanks!
I worked nights when my family got their milk cow, so on my weekends, I'd spend my time while they were asleep making 2-4 pounds of cheese. Some of the whey we'd use in the garden as a tea fertilizer, and some I'd give to my dog as a treat once it cooled.
I use the whey in my smoothie. About 3/4 cup. It has great bacteria for your gut too.
I've also made a protein hair treatment with extra yogurt whey. Keeps in the fridge for months.
Can you use it in sourdough, too?
My dad has been telling me about my grandma. How she took raw milk from their cows and made what you are. They never butchered a cow. They had pigs, chickens and rabbits for meat. A turkey or two. She made corn bread and biscuits but no loaf bread. Saturdays they had hot dogs and little bottles of coke a cola. The good ole days...
Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from hell❗️
*What is the Gospel?*
The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Romans 10:9
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
@@tama3442 Hell isn’t biblical. A place where God burns sinners forever is a manmade lie. 1 John 4:8 says God is love. A loving God would not do such a thing, and to say it makes God sound evil and frightening. The punishment for sinners is the same as Adams punishment. Genesis 3:19 - “In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.” 😊🙏🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿
@@debrajessen7975 This isn't a theological discussion, but since you seem to be so misled, I can't help but respond. The Bible says your "worm" never dies (Mark 9:42-48). That is your soul. You have to make up your mind where that soul will spend eternity. The Bible and Jesus clearly DO discuss a "hellish" place. Jesus repeatedly states that individuals may be in jeopardy of this damnation.
Hell in the Old Testament is mentioned 65 times and is referred to as Sheol. Even the Psalmist (Psalm 9:17) says that the wicked will be turned into hell.
The word Tartarus, used only once in the New Testament, literally means to be cast into hell. Hell is also referred to as Gehenna which was a physical place--a trash dump more or less--with fires that never stopped burning. This was a comparison. Finally, there is Hades, which is referred to at least four times in Revelation. It is clearly a place and a place that will be inhabited by evil, unbelieving souls.
I guess you could more accurately say that we they will be burning forever in Sheol. But, to say that sinners won't burn would be propagating a lie. Just like the lie Satan told Eve in the garden, twisting the Word of God to suit his evil purpose. She and Adam did die a spiritual death and went on to die a mortal death. This wasn't God's plan. Eve wanted to believe the lie, because it was "prettier" to her; that she could partake in sin with no repercussions. She believed Satan that God was the liar and that is what you are doing here.
A loving God is a fair and just God. He cannot forget those who love Him and then reward evil. God's love is what gives us free will to make the choices. He allows us to choose sin and evil because forced love is not true love. He wants us to choose to love Him. God isn't worried about how He sounds to the sinner. He hates sin. He wants us all to choose to love Him and to repent of our sin. We are body, soul, and spirit. Once our body dies it will decay, but our spirit and soul will continue. Please remember the character of that original sin and don't fall victim to Satan's lies. Read His Word for yourself.
No need to respond. You can't change what the Bible clearly states with your loose man-centered interpretation. Changing the Word and its meaning puts you in jeopardy. Don't be the person that causes another to stumble. I just wanted to give you something to think about.
@@dschaffin Are you claiming that every time the Bible mentions hell, it is referring to a fiery place of torment? Because Acts 2:27 & 31 is telling us about our Lord Jesus was not left in hell, nor his flesh seeing corruption. Should we believe Jesus Christ was in a burning place of torment for three days between his death and resurrection?
The translators of the KJV have translated the Hebrew word Sheol and the Greek word Hades sometimes as hell, sometimes as grave and sometimes as pit. I rather think Jesus was in his grave for three days. And when the Bible mentions Sheol or Hades, it is just referring to mankinds common grave.
When you know that Jesus was talking about about a literal rubbish dump that was outside of Jerusalem when he talked about Gehenna, I don’t really understand why you believe he was using it to prove that a burning place of punishment awaits sinners. No Jew believed that there was life in the grave after death. Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10 - Ezekiel 18:4 - Psalm 146:3.
All sinners will receive that same punishment as Adam. They will return to the dust - Genesis 3:19 - with no hope of a resurrection. Adam and Eve have already received their judgment, unrepentant sinners will be judged when our Lord Jesus Christ comes in his glory - Matthew 25:31-46.
Jesus used Gehenna as a symbol of everlasting destruction. At the dump the worms would consume what the fire didn’t. Carcasses, or dead criminals that were not deemed worthy of burial were thrown there. But nothing living, especially not human, was ever thrown there. We can see this from Jesus’ words recorded at Luke 12:5, he said: “I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear ; fear him, WHICH AFTER HE HATH KILLED HATH POWER TO CAST INTO HELL...” Sinners will not be alive somewhere being tortured. They will simply be cut off.
Gehenna is just as symbolic as the lake of fire mentioned in the book of Revelation. How can we see it is symbolic? Because Revelation 20:13, 14 says that death and hell - mankinds common grave - are going to be cast into the lake of fire. Death and hell are not entities that can be picked up, thrown anywhere, or burned. Death is the condition we inherited from Adam - Romans 5:12. But God has promised that death will be done away with - Revelation 21:4. Therefore, when the graves are emptied there will not be anyone dying the Adamic death, and thus no more need for graves. Also in Revelation 20:14 and Revelation 21:8 the scriptures explain what the lake of fire means. It says `it means the second death’. 😊🙏🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿

I used to let some of my homemade yogurt sit to drain in the fridge after 24 hours it was the consistency and tasted about like Philadelphia cream cheese. It is amazing what you can make from milk
This truly deserves several rounds of applause and a standing ovation!!!! wow just wow xx
Somehow, watching you timestack these projects (& noticing how most of the 2hrs was devoted to the hard cheese) made me realize what I realistically wanted to make for my family! Thank you, I can't tell you how helpful & encouraging I found this to be; I think I may invest in a milk share now, especially if I can get 4-9 fresh dairy products in under 2hrs a week! I'll probably cut out the hard cheese & yogurt to make kefir, clotted cream (in the microwave), & ghee for cooking instead; oh & of course coffee creamer
Do you have a link to the clotted cream in the microwave? I love clotted cream but it’s super expensive in Germany and making it the traditional way with 18h just is t possible for me.
How do you make your clotted cream? I would love your recipe!
@@sherrimiller5258 check the video I linked right above your comment; it's the best method I've encountered so far (and he's funny lol)

Awesome!
I made a mistake 9 years ago when I bought my house...I was choosing between 5 acres and a mobile and a brick house in a subdivision. I regret it so much! I would have had my own well and septic along with critters and garden spot! Here I am limited to raised bed gardens and no critters. Now I can't afford to buy land now.
The production quality of your videos is amazing! Could be on any big TV network! So helpful, informative, and enjoyable to watch 😊 Great job!
Your the best. Here's why.
My daughters got a jersey cow in milk. I started milking by hand the day Matilda arrived that was February. Son bought me a two teat milker. Thank goodness. I know nothing about a jersey cow. This is all knew to me.
Your video was a god send.
Organized, you communicated it beautifully.
Thank ever so much. I now have direction.
Very cool, thank you for sharing. Traditionally, the dairy has always been one of the most respected ways a woman could earn some income for herself. It's so nice to see you keeping tradition alive, and I hope someday your children may enjoy continuing it, too.
I can’t wait to reach your level of homesteading 🙏🏼 you’re seriously amazing
I agree 100% with you, I am about 6 months away from buying my land so I can get started on my homestead, I can't wait to get to her level.

When I was little the whey after cheese making was always cooked down to a thick sandwich spread, which I loved.
Ricotta !
How is that done?
Hi Carolyn, nice to see how you make all those different products. And I find it interesting that you do it differently than how I learned it. The time when the curd has to be stirred, I always sing:) We have had a dairy goat farm and I have professionally processed dairy from goat and also cow's milk. Now we are homesteaders with a small group of dairy goats and I do everything in miniature. Only goat's milk butter is a bit more difficult, I would like to try that with cow's milk. I also don't understand why people give a thumbs down. Greetings from the Netherlands.
The thumbs down is the people that want to buy their products from the grocery store! Ha! Ha!
Ignore the thumbs down. Makes life simpler. 🙂
What kind of goats do you have?
They give thumbs down because they like all the unhealthy additives that are added to commercial cheeses and don't want to take the time to enjoy the work of making cheese. I've been making homemade cheese for years and enjoy the process.
I have found if you culture cream- 1 tbsp keifer grains per 1 qt cream. Let sit with a lid on the jar, undisturbed, for 12 hours- it makes amazing butter and it whips so much more quickly.
I use whey to make fermented sour kraut and other fermented foods. You can use whey in bread making instead of water. Plus whey can be frozen to be used later.
I've lived in Idaho for 2 weeks, and just got home from picking up my first 4 gallons of milk, and have the sourcream/buttermilk pasteurizing. I've made yogurt and some fresh farm cheeses before, so I'm not too concerned. I came back to this video for reference first. Thanks for putting this information out there.
You are amazing! I am retired with no children living at home, I am always trying to find more time. I often think, "How do they do it with homeschooling, animals, and all the other things that needs to get done?"
Can you make a cook book for this and other Homestead cooking from scratch ideas? I love what you're doing! I'm encouraged to start homesteading.
I second that! I would love a cook book/ herbal and homesteading tips like nutrition, cold weather and cattle, weaning bottle feeding and issues when calving or farrowing
@@midnitglory For a traditional reference, I recommend the Foxfire book series by Elliot Wiggington, per Anchor Books.

Traditional Cooking School has what you're looking for.
Yogurt we let cool do an maybe 15 or 20 still warm we put starter in and then cover with towel and it’s amazing sit for a day out that’s it
Absolutely amazing! Talk about multi-tasking! I am 69 and learning so many skills from your videos. Thank you so much for sharing!
I've made yogurt and cheese out of milk that I bought from the store yogurt you can make by just putting yogurt into a thing of milk and leaving it out overnight and then refrigerate in the morning covered At room temperature the cultures develop just cover it with a cloth
You make it look so easy wishing I could find raw milk …used to drive over the state line to South Carolina with like minded people twice a month to get organic products…need to find a willing farmer once again…thank you for sharing…
That was incredible! I really enjoyed this video and learned so much. We are so conditioned to think we have to buy, and cannot make, the basic foods we eat. I honestly couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the butter, and it looked delicious. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. God bless, from England.
I shake cream in a glass jar and make butter. It's a workout that's worth it: delicious butter! Buttermilk is delicious to drink, or added to pancake recipes. 😊
Wow. Just wow.
You are a machine!
So impressive to watch.
Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m impressed you can run so many things in your kitchen at once. In mine If I use the range and the microwave at once we blow a fuse!
Carolyn, You have so much knowledge to share. You are amazing!
Carolyn, I used to make yogurt by heating the milk to 110, then added a tbsp of active yogurt to quart jars, top it off with the warm milk, then I'd set them in a clean cooler with hot tap water in it...about halfway up the sides of the jars. 10 hrs later, we'd have yogurt!! Now, I buy buttermilk from the store and when there's half an inch left, I add milk to it, shake it up, cover it with a paper towel and set out overnight and it's done! I did this every week on the same jug just using up what was left, for 2 months straight until I tossed it and started over. It's super thick like yogurt or sour cream, and usually after the first time, the tang goes away and it really tastes like a good plain yogurt.
What an interesting way to make your own yogurt! Thanks for sharing the way you do it!
I'm assuming you are using pasteurized milk for this? Raw milk needs to be brought up to 180, and then cooled to 110.
This is GREAT! I’m amazed at how much you did in 2 hours! I will definitely be coming back to watch this again when we start getting milk from our own cow in a few months 😁
We had butter in less than a minute 😊it worked for us so we were happy as can be😊
Ty for this lesson. You can make super easy cream cheese with whole milk and lemon as well.
And dont forget easy mozzerella and ricotta(twice cooked) and cottage cheese!
Give the kids or grands a jar of heavy cream.with a new washer or marble if you have and seal good. Let them shake that up into great butter. Girlscouts was an awesome experience back in the day learning practical skills....
I.have lived in Ohio for 55 years and I love it. With the changing of seasons and the people are great. There are a lot of Amish and farmers to reach out to if you ever need help. They are very helpful and friendly.
Hello👋 dear, how are you doing?
When we make butter we do it from cold with the whisk attachment on 8. It makes butter (and buttermilk) in minutes.
Very helpful comment that home dairy is very forgiving. That's quite reassuring.
You are a true blessing from God!
They should teach this to kid's in school today as life skills
Thank you so much! We just discovered a local dairy farm and discussed getting fresh milk this week! This is very timely for us. Even better, the children fell asleep in the van and i was able to take notes on this very well done video sitting in our driveway! 😊 I truly appreciate this bit of education, as I have been ignorant to most of the things we should already know ;-)
This was most excellent in all respects, a lot of information conveyed concisely & easy to follow, no getting confused between the different projects. Plus, your enthusiastic presentation is inspiring. Well done you!
I like that you tackled them all at the same time, it's how i like to do things, not one after the other. If i'm prepping veggies for a stew, i usually do a few extra & make a spaghetti sauce & soup too. I spend a little more time in the kitchen, but not as much if i did them on different days & it gives me a few days with no need to cook.
Thank you for you teaching us all about this procedure .
I have two dairy cows and a big family, so i usually do less at once, but bigger batches, but i still learned a lot watching this video! I have found getting the saltiness just right for cheese to be hard (our water is high in sodium, so brines are harder to make)and i liked watching you salt the curds for cheddar. I would love a follow up on caring for your cheese s as they age - do you wash the rinds? Or vacuum pack? Looking forward to the workshops this week too! Thank you!
So excited to try! I’ve done the butter but next I’ll be trying sour cream/buttermilk. Can you explain how to get the “home cultured buttermilk” or “buttermilk starter culture” needed for this recipe? Will be joining your master class asap!
I just wish I could afford the items you use. I am trying to make as much food products at home as I can. My husband and I have a good size garden and I do can every year but this year I am getting a pressure canner so I can do meats. I actually bought stuff to try to make my own butter. My husband and I have been living in my parents home a year and a half, on top of a mountain in Virginia, we are doing everything we can to be self sufficient . I am 63
All the cultures seems to be from last weeks batches, so how would you do it for the 1st ever batch? store bought?
Raw milk is too expensive where I live to use for anything more than fresh drinking. Our first “freshening” for our goats is coming up in a month or so and I’m looking forward to being able to have milk for the price of feed. For those who do not have an instapot use a hard sided cooler filled with hot water (my hot tap is about 115F, so it works fine), set your jars of cultured milk in there and it will hold a decent temp for about 10-12 hrs. I like to make 24hr yogurt but my brother makes 36hr yogurt!
I'm glad I live in a country where we produce some of the best dairy in the world and our pasteurised milk is still fresh and tastes analogous to raw milk because it's not UHT and only pasteurised at the minimum temperatures for a few seconds. It's also literally a third of the price. It's simply not viable to actually purchase for anything other than drinking, to really do what his woman does, you'd have to trade with a farmer or get your own dairy animals if you want to use raw milk for these products.
I’m down a yt rabbit hole... I don’t know how I (lactose intolerant) got to homestead and cheese making 🤔😂 but it was very therapeutic and you voice is so calming ♥️
I’ve learned so much from watching your channel I’ve grown up in cities so I get most of my food from supermarkets. However growing up I did spend a lot of time in my grandparents garden where they would grow a lot of the wrong food and spend some time in my grandfathers workshop and my grandmothers kitchen. It’s funny to me now that I’m an older guy I think I want to have my own little Homestead now instead of living in cities. So watching your channel I learn a lot and how to make my own food. I do remember something that was taught to me by my great grandmother perhaps it’s something you could implement for your food storage. My grandmother taught me how to make evaporated and condensed milk. When can correctly it can last on the shelf for a couple of years perfect for the winter time when the cows are not producing as much. With the condensed milk my grandmother would use it straight out of the can in coffee‘s to sweeten and cream the mob or she would use it in baking recipes that requires some dairy and sugar. She would use the evaporated milk and much the same way but for recipes that didn’t require sugar has evaporated milk is unsweetened that’s the difference between the two. She would even add evaporated milk to creamy soup recipes like her delicious creamy mushroom soup or creamy veg. Typical Irish cooking. Perhaps this is something you can do if you don’t need cheese or sour cream and you have enough in your fridge you could make yourself up some batches of evaporated and condensed milk. I have to say the things I learned from my grandparents and great grandmother I’m still using today.
Your husband must love the heck outta you! 😘. You are an amazing woman, God bless you.
So impressed. Love that you have all these things going at the same time so you are efficient. I can almost imagine the tastes... YUM! Thank you!
Will you be running this masterclass again. I’m a few months into dairy goats and have farmers cheese down but would love to expand my cheese making ability. I love your work and gentle demeanor. You are a gift!
You can see the classes we have available here: classes.homesteadingfamily.com/store
I love the idea of using the whey to make ricotta cheese. Nothing wasted. Yum!
Carolyn, where do you purchase your cheese grotto and/or do you buy it? Can you explain it to us? Thanks!
Thank you so so much for this! I keep coming back over and over as I work on getting my dairy routine worked out. Thank you for this timely, valuable, organized teaching!
I have watched this so many times. Your are my most trusted resource.
So love your channel. this seems so easy to watch, but for people like us who's in the learning stage and future homesteaders looks very challenging. Thank you for sharing.
We go through a pound of butter a week especially around Thanksgiving and Christmas
Hi 👋dear, how are you doing?
Excellent work keeping your cool and getting it all done, especially when the butter was taking longer than normal - which totally happens! I make a lot of my own dairy goodies but I definitely don't do it as calmly and collected as you - more like a chicken with its head cut off! Thanks for the video.
WOW! I'm only 5 minutes in and I had to stop and give you a thumbs up...In fact I don't think I've ever given a more deserved like...your are totally gifted and SO inspiring 😊...thank you for taking the time to share this process, all of them lol
I admit that I really like the way that you've stream-lined the process of making everything. I tend to spend more active time just on my cheese making that you did on making everything.
If you capture the whey from the cheddar cheese, you can use that as your starter the next time instead of the using yogurt or buttermilk. When I make yogurt, I'll add a draining step to make Greek style yogurt; the whey from draining the yogurt could also be used.
The whey from the fresh cheese cannot be used since it was heated to the point that the cultures were killed.
I’m 3 months pregnant and dairy is my biggest craving😍❤️
My OB told me "Babies are made from vitamins C and Cholesterol, C to help lay down calcium for bone, and Cholesterol is the fat that coats all the nerves". Pickles are a fake craving for Vitamin C, baked potatoes and butter and sour cream give both, baked is the only way a potato has more C than an orange, other cooking methods destroy it.Your dairy craving is probably for the fat, and may be the calcium.
@@charlanpennington3989 I have nausea all the time and dairy (especially cottage cheese) is the only thing I can eat with pleasure, and other things without any or strong flavour. Thanks for Your advice and now I want a potato🤣
This is a fantastic video thank you. I’ve always wanted to know how to do this. Just FYI in case you wanted to make buttermilk on the fly for a recipe, put 1 tbsp white vinegar in a measuring cup and then fill up the measuring cup to the 1 cup line with milk. Stir and let sit for 5 mins, you’re good to go.
TH-cam and Instagram algo keep telling me about buttermaking. I don't use a lot of butter but...I would if it was homemade and cinnamon flavored. Might have to give this a go!!
Hi 👋dear, how are you doing?
I love all your videos! Thank you for sharing all your wonderful knowledge. We just had the potato and ham soup that I learned to make and pressure can from the class I took from you. I am gardening now for second year and am having 'green' dreams. You know when you dream about planting your garden. :) I am using a lot of things that I have learned from your husband as well. You folks are changing the world, one person, one family at a time. Blessings!
Need to find yourself a cave for that cheese! Just visited Cheddar (the original place where cheddar cheese comes from in UK) and bought some cheese that had been aged in the caves there. So delicious! Bought some hard goats cheese too 😋
Amazing, such a simple amount of knowledge lost to modern society. I wish I had the time for me to live and learn more. Good luck on your journey through life and God bless you for sharing your knowledge ❤️.

Hello Donna..
How are you doing today?
It's all very great and I'm sure that you know how to do it without power. I love watching your enthusiasm.
When I need inspiration, I always end up on your channel.
Well, I like Luli's channel too. She's Russian and my granny came from the Borderlands of Poland. My gramps was German and her "ways" are very familiar to me, despite the fact that my family's been in Oklahoma since the Landrun of 1889, some thing's are just in your bones.
This is the most educational video I've seen on TH-cam!
Thank you for your enthusiasm, Carolyn. I can buy raw milk from my co-op, but just for clarity, did you pasteurize both the fresh farm and cheddar cheeses here? Also, I don't have a family, but I would love to share cheese that I make by hand with friends and colleagues. Is it possible to press smaller rounds of cheese at the same time in the type of press you have, or is it only designed for one larger round? Thanks for making everyday dairy doable!
I’m confused by that too. Why ruin raw milk by pasteurizing??
@@willowriverranch7965 being gracious. For the in laws, they prefer it.
@@nspowers7130 sure a lot of work to go and do that to it. I hope they come around some day.
@@willowriverranch7965 all people have different taste. I embrace individuality. I'm an immigrant and I appreciate the freedom of choice in a free country.
Kinda wish there was a blog post with the individual steps for each product or separate videos. It’s really cumbersome to come back and look for the yogurt process or the buttermilk process when they are all mixed together. Yogurt turned out lovely though, thanks.
This is sooo amazing to me! If I could go to a camp where all we did was learn how to make these products I would totally pay!
Check out the Heritage Life Skills Conference by Carolina Readiness Supply store in Western NC every spring.
That would be so much fun and totally worth the cost cause I put it under learning a new life skill that better’s your life!
Isn't buttermilk the liquid remaining after making the butter?
That was just amazing! I always thought it would be alot more difficult to make all those products but you make it look easy. Im going to try to make everything. Thankyou for teaching us.
When will you have your next master class?!
You can visit here for classes: classes.homesteadingfamily.com/
This may sound kooky but watching you make these things? I found it very peaceful and encouraging. I'm sure it's bc I was watching your experience showing, so I am extra pleased I bought your cheese class. Thanks!
These videos are totally encouraging for us newbie homesteaders. 🙂
Glad you did this so I didn't have to.
You have done your research on "how to do a presentation". All the way back to the TV days. There was a character with a million dollar shop who said " just just just" on any move as if it made it so simple... Simple with a shop few could posess.

I can't wait to sign up for the dairy class! I have been following your advice from a pantry chat a while back and have slowly been building my homesteading skills before we buy our homestead. Our family can't believe how much better eggs taste fresh from our own chickens. I can't wait to try the taste of homemade dairy products!
Homegrown chicken eggs really do spoil you... I can't order eggs at restaurants anymore at all. They're gross.
What an incredibly interesting and important video! I’m amazed at how easy and uncomplicated you made the process to making all of these dairy products! I was raised on real raw milk that my Mom milked from our Jersey cow named Daisy when I was growing up . My Mom didn’t make anything out of the milk such as dairy products unless she made buttermilk but I don’t ever remember her setting any milk on the counter and allowing it to sour overnight etc.. I think she just put a tbsp of vinegar into a cup of raw milk to make her buttermilk.. we just drank up all the milk and cooked with it and I think she sold a few gallons to friends every once in a while but mainly we drank that delicious rich milk! I think what you have done is absolutely amazing! Now I just wish there was some raw milk available to purchase in my area that I live in . I live in Lonoke AR so if anyone that knows of anyone close to my area that sells raw milk please leave a comment to me ! Thanks for showing us how you made all of your dairy goodie’s! Blessings!💕
This looks really fun and I’m impressed that you know how do all this!
Thank you so much,god bless you 😍 I'm looking forward to possibly moving to New Mexico and buying some homestead property , I've never done anything like this but have been somewhat raised around livestock , but nothing like what you got going on ,your literally my life support of knowledge, that I'm going to need to get my family and generations to come and leave them with self sufficient life 😍I've got lots to learn and instill into my children,grand children ECT 😁😀
How interesting. Thank you for sharing. I make my own kefir. Not as glamorous as all this ,but satisfying to make and enjoyable to drink.
I have been milking goats for almost 20 years. My kids got into raising dairy goats in 4H & FFA. The kids are grown and gone but I've kept the goats. I make soap, lotion, several cheeses, yogurt, etc. But I recently became the caretaker of 2 miniature Jersey milk cows. I'm excited to do some of the dairy products that simply don't work as well with goat milk. I'm enjoying cultured butter, mozzarella that stretches? Yes please! I'm so grateful to have found your channel.
Very cool. You never cease to amazing me, Carolyn!

Cubed potatoes in the water bath, ground low fat lamb in the pressure canner,
8# seasoned zucchini slices in the dehydrator, cucumbers in huge bucket of lime water......🤭🤭🤭
I love your videos! You really give me a julia child vibe. Controlling what’s in your food and using fresh ingredients is so much healthier!
Hello. Can someone please help me find info to buy the large butter mixer with the motor on top?
Wow! That's awesome how you make such delicious dairy products for your family to enjoy 👏👏👏
This was so helpful. Am from Kenya and loving how informative you are.
I've started making paneer and yoghurt, which is easy enough as I can heat the milk for both at the same time. Does the fact that your milk is full-fat make the yoghurt less runny, or does it depend on the starter cultures? I hope I can start getting milk from a local dairy farm soon.
Yoghurt gets it's thickness from both the bacterial culture and the degree it is strained. I've had both whole and skimmed milk yoghurts that were the consistency of whipped cream. The fat content of the milk has no impact on the thickness or runniness of the final product.
😊Hello. If you boil the milk to 180° for 10” the yogurt will be thicker. HTH
Homemade Cheese From Store Bought Milk!
1. How long. Need to leave the cheese on the shelf until it is ready?
2. How long can a ready-made cheese be without a refrigerator?
3. Where is the best place to leave the cheese. Or the yogurt we made?
4. Do you have to put the cheese or yogurt in the fridge?
Thank you
You rock. This video was awesome. Thank you so much!
Whey can be used in the garden, either directly or in a compost tea.
Great video! Wish you had gone to explain a bit on how to use whey, since it's so extremely healthy for us and many people seem to just discard it. So, allow me to add this information: it's full of vitamins (particularly the B kind) and minerals, when you drink it, it detoxicates our bodies, supports metabolism, kidneys, and lowers cholesterol, when you bath in it, it nurtures our skin, supports blood flow, it helps against certain skin ailments, and it can help against wrinkles, and it's completely safe for pregnant women and can help them against storing up water, so definitely do not throw it away!
Whey does not "detoxicate" anything. Your organs do that.
Whey is delicious and healthy, but spouting some sort of disingenuous nonsense as if it's got all kinds of magical properties is unnecessary. Like any other healthy foods, just being honest about the nutritional composition is enough. Making unsubstantiated claims just makes you look stupid.
@@markobighead3173 That was just mean Marko, All you had to do was give the information, a gentle correction. Unless we are scientists, most of what we learn is from reading it somewhere.
Hello from Durban North, South Africa. Thanks for the great video, I've enjoyed it very much. Blessings to you, your family and all your friends.

I love the large pot you used to make your cheddar cheese!🧀 It has such a cool shape with a high dome on the lid.❤ I've never seen anything like it before. Can you please tell me where I can find one like it? Thank you for such great videos! ❤
You are so lucky, we can’t purchase raw milk where I live “for my own safety” it is really to keep the dairy farmers here limited so they can sell Quebec dairy products first. We live in Alberta Canada
I made homemade butter for Thanksgiving every year when my children were young so they would learn how it was made. Woo Hoo me!
A great way to start with the kids. You can also make garlic or honey butter, yum!
That’s amazing! I wish my mom was taught by my grandmother those useful things so that I could learn from her.
I make honey butter and whipped topping for holidays. I make the soft cheese and ricotta too if I have time
