Proper cream handling and ripening for churning
The guide advises clean cows, barns, attendants, and utensils, immediate cooling after separation, and avoiding aroma in stored cream. It notes sweet cream churns hard with flat-tasting butter and details two ripening methods at 70 degrees: natural acidification or adding starter culture, aiming for about 30 percent fat after ripening.
Determining Churning Temperature for Butter Making
The proper cream churning temperature varies by fat particle size, fat hardness, cream age and fat content, plus cow feed. Trial and error governs. 35 to 60 degrees may work on adjacent farms. Stop churning when granules resemble wheat kernels and drain buttermilk before washing and salting.
