    Safely using raw goats milk?

    Thanks for the great instructions Free! One question.....why alternate with warm and cool water baths for the milk? Can't you just use a cool water bath, maybe even with some ice added to cool the milk down more quickly? We are going back to the cheese store today to watch a winemaking demo...
