No, that's actually perfect, 165 is low. Should be 180 or so.

But I've occasionally heated it far higher because of not

paying attention at the vital moment and taste has not been

effected.

What brand of goat milk did you use?

Though as n pointed out, some people just

don't like it.

I've never heard of the vaccine, is it a clinical trial?

 

Of course, just about everyone in my family has had fresh milk growing up (nothing better) and I'm the only one dx'd and/or with Crohn's symptoms.  I have read something has to trigger it though.

 

I'd probably take the vaccine just in case ;-).
