The first impression is that these things are temperamental! The adjustments are critical, speed is critical, temperature is critical. The first run was with refrigerated milk. BAD IDEA! The cream that cam out was so thick it immediately clogged up the inner separator and milk starts running everywhere. Not realizing it was temperature , I adjusted this and that to no avail. finally gave up. The next day we tried some fresh milk right after milking. Much better! This time with a few adjustments we succeeded in retrieving about a half cup from a half gallon. The cream was VERY thick though. After sitting int he fridge for a day it was so thick that it wouldnt pour, thicker than honey.
The trouble is that I think the machine is adjusted for the thinnest cream possible, and still it comes out too thick. Not sure yet if this design of machine isnt going to work for goats milk, or if I have something set wrong. More experimentation is in order.
Good news is the cream is very yummy! Cant wait to get this working!
