I'm gonna freeze some milk for winter. Need ideas on what type of container, etc? I'd like to be able to put it in a ziplock and then maybe freeze it in a plastic bin so it makes nice blocks instead of funky shaped packages? Maybe maybe?
I freeze mine in the quart ziplock freezer bags. I lay them flat in the freezer until they are frozen, then i stack them on top of each other
For my use I freeze in 1 and 2 qt plastic juice bottles....for someone else, I freeze in 1 qt ziplocs , lay flat to freeze then they can be stacked.
I usually freeze in quart size plastic containers but I like your ideas of using ziploc freezer bags. I'm going to use that instead.
How come y'all use quart bags? Is it based on how much milk you are getting? I was using gallons and freezing a half gallon per batch - my goat is giving 3/4 gallon per day milking once a day.
Personally, I use quart size bags for a friend, her little one does not go through much milk and it's easier to use up a quart as opposed to a gallon :wink: For my use, I use 2 qt containers as most of my cheese recipes call for 2 qts to 2 gallons of milk.
Because I have one little goat milking now. She is a FF and is tapering down some more because it's fall and she wants to be bred. :roll:
I froze my extra milk in ice cube trays and then turned them out into gallon bags after they were frozen. The unused colostrum (she only had one kid) I froze in quart ziploc baggies.
