Home Pasteruizer

Our family didn't have one of these but an Aunt and Uncle did. WE milked 5 to 14 cows everyday for home use as they did. What the machines does is bring up the temp of the (raw) milk to around 160 to 180 degrees then hold for x amount of minutes while stiring it to homogonize (sp) the cream into the milk so it wouldn't separate and float to the top of pitcher or storage container. Always smelled awful while working. We just drank raw milk had our cows tested every 3 months. Did have a separtor to get cream then they left over fed to pigs or give to grandmother to make buttermilk. Had a Dasiy Churn (I got this when we moved my mother closer to us) Has a wooden dasher that is turned by a crank on the side held 1 gallon of cream and takes about 35 minutes to make the butter. My sister got the butter paddles and the molds.

My Question Is....

The people offering this item state that it comes with the operating instructions, but they are getting rid of it because they don't know how to operate it! One would think that the parts list and operating instructions would indicate that there is susposed to be a gasket there....

Something is fishy about this....

14 Bids on this thing!!

Gawwd...this is kind of cool...14 bids to date. I had never seen one of these but as Westie said above, I would imagine this would have been almost a necessity for a farm. I have to agree with Kevin, I am a city guy.

 

[launderess]

Bidding was really one person who bid something like THIRTEEN times, only to be out bid by the current high bidder.

Drinking raw milk? Please do not mention such things during breakfast! *LOL*

Isn't raw milk how one caught TB?

Milking five to fifteen cows per day for home use? How many people were in this family? How much dairy can one family consume in one day or week? Unless this was Mrs. O'Malley with her family of 17 boys, that seems like a lot of milk.

Family was big. Mother was the oldest of 6 and my dad was the oldest of 7 most of the aunts and uncles didn't stay on the farm but worked in town. Gave milk to all of them. Mostly we separated the cram from the milk and mother sold it to creamery for them to use in ice cream. Aunt and Uncle that did farm didn't milk but they did pasteruize in the machine. I am the youngest of four. Farm work was and is hard only one cousin farms now from all of us kids.

...maybe Paris and Nicole would be able to give the seller some operating tips?

I can remember an Uncle that had one of those and a cream separator.when I was at his house-he let me turn the crank on the cream seperator-was sort of a thrill at the time.He had a small dairy farm.Loved to watch him milk the cows.-and yes we did "sample" the raw milk.Still living.

So sorry to hear that,

Milk that comes straight out of the bulk tank in the milk house tastes like nothing else on earth. Fresh milk (raw) is so creamy it is indescribable. No, you can't contract TB from raw milk, you "city folks"!
