    I think there is confusion between raw milk, pasteurized milk and UHT milk. Only UHT milk doesn’t need to be refrigerated but it tastes horrible.

      Only UHT milk doesn’t need to be refrigerated…

      While it’s still sealed. Once opened, it needs to be refrigerated.

        Another weird UHT enjoyer here. If it weren’t so expensive where I’m at then I’d be having it more often

          I hope it at least pleases you to know that in places where UHT milk is the norm, pasteurised milk is more expensive and sometimes simply not available. (I somewhat prefer that flavour)

    So it doesn’t turn into yogurt?

    My fridge isn’t full of raw milk or anything, but I think this goose is a better fit for the oven than guard duty.

      It’s a bit like making alcohol—it’s made through fermentation, but you want it to be very controlled.

      Normally you’d want to sterilize the starting mix first to kill any undesired molds and bacteria, add the fermenting agent that you want (lactic acid producing bacteria in this case) and age it in a sealed container until ready.

      If it starts with any contaminants or if any are introduced during fermentation, it’d spoil the batch and make you very sick if ingested.

    This is such a dumb take. I don’t trust raw milk, but those that do aren’t arguing it won’t spoil at room temperature. Like, I support buying local, free-range chicken meat. But if someone came up to me and said “Oh yea? Well if you like chicken without antibiotics and preservatives, why do you still refrigerate it?!” I’d look at them like a fucking idiot.

    Not trying to defend drinking raw milk but things do taste different at different temperatures.
