Milk pasteuriser at home

Are there any good products available to pasteurise raw milk?

I came across this one but no idea of cost?

Did you purchase a pasteuriser or find out any more about them after that.
was thinking on one here too. Seam fairly pricey yokes.

The expensive pasteuriser seems to cancel out the cost savings of consuming ones own milk...pity

My mum got one several years back, very awkward messy yoke if I remember correctly, hard to get the milk pasteurised correctly also, any attempts we made would always leave a bad taste to the milk. It quickly got shoved into a corner shelf 2bh. Nobody has died yet from drinking the fresh milk here ha, only think I wouldn't mind doing with the milk is finding an easier way to skim off some of the fat if anyone knows how.

You can get a fat separator for gravy it's a jug with the spout joined to the bottom letting out the milk when it's settled and leaving most of the cream on top

Try a beer fermentation bucket or similar, it has a hole drilled in the side and a tap fitted, tap only about €5
You could put one into any size container

Let the milk settle & then open tap until most of the milk is gone

Wouldn't boiling the milk pasteurise it?

No, it wouldn't. Pasteurisation is a strictly controlled process of Temp's, both high and low.

Had one of these at home 20 years ago but looking at the prices I can't imagine my father paying for it

We had one of those years (decades!) ago too!

An excellent device for rendering milk undrinkable, if I recollect correctly.

I remember years ago here, the milk coming into the house in a small aluminium can still warm from the cow.

like a lot of sweets and soft drinks in the 80's, the pasteurised milk did us no harm:)

Anyone know of any Pasteurisers for sale through Co-op's etc? Doesn't appear to be much info online re any!

Boiling the milk will kill off the bacteria but it will also denature proteins (think cooking an egg). Pasteurisation heats the milk quickly and cools it quickly too to maximise the benefit and minimise the downside.

Got a loan of a home pasteurised was looking at given it a go
Does any know if u can fill the pasteurised with water put in the container full of milk into it and turn it on or does the cold water have to be left on the hole time on it
Seems a massive waste of water

I'd say the water would want to be left on. I presume the water is for cooling the milk quickly after the heating. The water would need to be constantly cool so constantly running.
