Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Jessi, It is only mentioned in passing about chilling in ice water bath in my post. An ice water bath (there is a slurry of ice and water that immerses the container to at least the level of the milk in the container) will take a half gallon of milk down to just above freezng (and well below 40*) in less than fifteen minutes. Even in gallon containers, it will take it well below 40* in less than half an hour. And, it's not just a function of getting it cold, it's also getting it cold fast. If it takes longer than fifteen minutes to get from 103*F to below 40* F you run the risk of growing things that negatively impact the taste of the milk. Setting still warm milk into the freezer or the refrigerator just won't do the job, either.
