Guest guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I have frozen goat milk in plastic containers in the past and had no problem. The milk tasted great and I even made cheese from the goat milk after it had thawed in the refidgerator.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Have you found a source for plastic jugs? We buy ours from local apple orchards. Otherwise, I've seen a lots of packaging companies list them in their catelogs. Good luck. liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
