I think that will be according to your altitude. I use 10# here in MS.Thanks for the directions. What is the pressure setting of your weight?
It will separate, but just shake it up and it goes back to normal. Depending on the cows, most milk cows give off a good amount of cream and that is probably what you are seeing right now after the canning. I have the same separation in my own home canned milk. I hope this helps? When you say "curdled" I am assuming separations? This article may be a help?Howdy everybody! So… all you canners out there.. I have been successfully canning milk from the store for ages it seems but..I had some raw mik last week and when I canned it all of it curdled. Bummer. Anyone know why?
Sorry but….oh yawn here we go again. The USDA does not disapprove of canning there are just no guidelines for it. You know those people that say they have been doing it for years? Yep I’m one of those. 30 years and I know many that do and myself, my family, and everyone else I know that cans dairy has never gotten sick.
The MILK IMPORT ACT allows foreign countries to import dairy into this country with NO GUIDELINES WHATSOEVER. The dairy products brought to the USA can be infected with Brucellosis, Tuberculosis, Septicemia and Bovine Leukemia to name a few. Hmmm. No issues there though. USDA IS OK WITH THAT. Be clean and sanitary about it and use your canning common sense. So when I KNOW my dairy is clean and been tested for all of the above and I’m good canning it including butter, heavy cream. Actually I make ghee a lot. Melt the butter, skim off the top, and pour into any jar lasts forever with no refrigeration. People have been doing that for thousands of years an we’re all ok. Ever make Keifir? Yeah, milk sits out on the counter for days. Doesn’t spoil and makes the best probiotic drink. Nope not sick from it. So I would agree with you.. COMMON SENSE should be used . Did you know store bought milk will spoil? Raw milk doesn’t. That’s why the USDA banned raw milk sales. They pasteurize it, homogenize it and in the process it kills all the enzymes and basically your just drinking white dead liquid with no health benefits at all. Then it goes bad in a few days and you buy more. $$$$$$$$$. Can it and guess what? Ya got milk that you can open in a year and drink it. Imagine that. Oh and if your worried about Botulism better not can those veggies either. Dirt ( the place where the veggies actually grow ) is the originator of botulism. But do your research and talk to some people that actually can dairy . Happy canning to everyone this year! Food shortages are increasing. Be blessed!
I can tell you I DID that! I have canned homemade cheese with raw milk and still alive and kicking. . . did that years ago when my Jersey was producing so much milk and I was making about 5 lbs of cheese every day.Yep, botulism spores are everywhere. They become toxins in a hot, oxygen-less environment, such as a canning jar BUT you can kill the toxins by boiling the contents of that jar for 10 minutes up to 1,000ft, then add one minute per 1,000 for your altitude........it all depends on the environment those little buggers are in.
Somebody recently canned some cheese (cheddar and mozzarella) and cream cheese AND (hold your breath)......waterbath canned it.
I don't know who did that, but somebody did.
Hi Dani. It’s weird. It looks like curdled milk. Shaking does nothing. I opened one and it poured out in little chunks and was not very palatable. Lol. This is the 3rd time . But store bought milk I have zero issues with. I have been granted raw cow milk this week. I’ll try it with that. Maybe it’s for some reason just the goat milk?I have another Jersey that hunny bought for me a couple years ago. Her milk bag is now getting full. I will be doing the same canning I did when getting Bestey's milk. We took a walk tonight, just so she knows about a halter.
What is your canning process? I'm just wondering now. My jars do separate, but when I shake goes back to normal.Hi Dani. It’s weird. It looks like curdled milk. Shaking does nothing.

As stupid as that sounds.... It is likely the most stupid idea a politician can come up with..
Reason being some places are taxing livestock for the methane they produce... I think it is New Zealand that has federal taxes on livestock farts...
