| And the Cream |
My machine is a tabletop electric model which I have mounted on an old chair base. You need to have the unit raised high enough so that you can have buckets to collect the cream and the skim underneath.
Remember, the amount of cream you will get depends on the butterfat content of your milk. This varies from cow to cow, herd to herd and breed to breed. The butterfat also varies depending on what the cows are being fed. The quality of the feed also makes a big difference.
You can usually work on approximately 1 litre of cream to 5 or 6 litres of milk.
