dumb dairy question

Yes, I think it was you Rebbetzin.

I guess it had morphed in my mind ... I was thinking of trying to put a glass jar with straining material over the top into a bucket filled with ice to accomplish the same task.

Love your idea!

For me the refreezable ice packs worked better than waking up my husband (who is not a morning person) with the sound of cracking open ice trays in the morning.

I would like to find a way to use, say a ziplock type of bag, with water to make a custom fit around the jar.. still working on it. The refreezeable ice paks tend to lose their liquid after a few months.

If you put water and rubbing alcohol in the bag, it will freeze flexible like the purchased ice pack bags.

I am not in a hot climate, so I don't worry about chilling my milk other than bringing it to the house to filter and refrigerate it before finishing all my chores. In the winter, I finish my other chores, since the milk chills just fine sitting by the gate or in the hay storage room in sub-freezing temps.
