As someone who studies Food Industries, I think that the reason butter becomes too greasy and loses that fluffy factor if you overwork it at the end may be because it undoes the minuscule air bubbles (pores) that formed in the butter during the beating, that give it a lighter texture, like in icecream. Also thanks for the video! As someone who studies the theory this practical knowhow is sometimes missed. Didn't know you had to rinse the butter with water at different temperatures. Thank you for sharing the knowledge. My regards and best wishes for you and your husband! :D

My husband wanted to watch how butter was made old school way, and you two satisfied what we were looking for lol. I’m 31 and he’s 32. We love homemade stuff cause we’re country bumpkins haha. Great video! Old man at the end said gimme another one cracker with butter lol

Surprising how many people have no idea about buttermilk being a by product of making butter. Back in the day, a glass of cool buttermilk was considered a treat because they only had it for a few days after making butter. I was raised on a dairy and I used to think it was fun to sit on a stool at grand ma's table and turn the handle to churn butter.

I've been making butter since last October. Couldn't make it with a hand crank churn. 2.5 hrs of cranking, still no butter. 30 minutes with a hand mixer and wisk attachment and I have butter. I let the cream sit 12 hrs, but you said several days. I'll have to try that now. Might of been my only problem.

My mom used to talk about kneading the butter. Makes sense now. I need to try this. Do you think it would work with a K paddle attachment on a Kitchenaid? I know that's cheating, but I don't own a geared butter churn!

can you make butter from curds and whey or is this only good for cottage cheese making?

Nice demo, thank you. I'm looking for a dairy cow because I agree with your husband, butter from stores tastes like grease, no flavor... It's like everything else, they are removing the animal fats and replacing them with canola or soy oils, yuck! Milk/cream is the same, tasteless, so I'm hoping to find a dairy cow for a beginner, but it's difficult when you live in northern BC. Merry Christmas to you both!

Margarine is a substitute for butter made from soybean oil and such. And it kills you nice and slowly so that you hardly notice. And then there's real salted butter like this. The best in every way and it won't kill you nearly as fast as fake butter margarine, except you actually have to work a little to get the real deal.

How many gallons of milk to make 1 lb of butter?

@TheNealsHomestead

The amount of milk it takes to make one pound of butter depends the cow you are getting the milk from. Some breeds produce much more cream than others. Jerseys are hi milk fat producers, Holsteins make less cream. For my cow, it takes the cream off of 3-4 gallons of milk to make one pound of butter.

so the milk doesn't need to be boiled before you make the butter?
