r/Milk

This is driving my family insane so I’m seeking reddit coffee connoisseurs for help. Scottsburn milk does not froth the same as Central Dairies and my mother (who must have her frothed latte in the morning) is being tortured by not knowing why. My dad is a science teacher so here are all of the constants:

Temperature is the same
\- take them out of the same fridge at the same time
\- put the same amount in the same container
\- microwave for the same amount of time
Fat content is the same (both 3.25%)
We’ve gone so far as to buy them at the same time with the same best before dates to make comparable data (engineering/science teacher father’s doings)
IT IS ALWAYS Scottsburn being the anti frother.

\* for those who couldn’t care less about this milk debate for my mom, you should know it affects my dog as well. he gets the froth from the top of moms coffee fed to him on her finger. he will. not. eat scottsburn because he doesn’t like how it froths weird. (peep puppy)

if any know about this problem, please let me know

I do not have lactose intolerance, but I am not able to tolerate American dairy without stomach cramps and digestive problems. I can drink dairy in Canada without any problem. It makes me wonder if there is some milk in America I can tolerate, but I've not had any luck up till now.

I know in America they give cows antibiotics, growth hormones, feed them unnatural diets such as those with animal byproducts, etc. It seems like if the milk is USDA organic then these are no longer true. But even organic milk causes me problems. I do not have problems with A1 vs A2 either, I have tried A2 brand milk and had severe problems. I am able to tolerate Canadian milk which is not A2.

I have tried the following brands/products and have not had any luck:

• Alexandre yogurt
• Organic valley milk
• A2 milk
• Kalona kefir
• Family farmstead a2/a2 organic milk
• Larson farm and creamery a2/a2 organic yogurt
• Activia yogurt drink
• Cabot "lactose-free" cheese

I'm now gonna try driving to Connecticut to try Baldwin Brook Farm raw milk, but I will boil it myself in hopes of it being more natural/fresh. Does anyone have suggestions in the New England area, particularly for those who struggle to digest dairy in the US?

What’s the best brand of milk in your opinion? Price per ounce, quality of taste, nutrition, doesn’t matter. And what’s your favorite kind of milk? Chocolate, strawberry, plain, one of those really weird flavored ones, like mint or something? 🥛

Curious thought, nonfat dry milk use to be the budget option now its expensive wtf happened?

We go through a LOT of milk in our house.
We drink a lot and cook a lot. (I love my strawberry Nesquik lol)

Over the past several months, most milk has an extremely strong smell/taste almost like urine/ammonia. So bad I can't even use it. I'm talking gallons of whole milk from all different brands and stores. (Nowhere near expiration dates either. This is all the time, not infrequent.)
Nobody else in the house can smell or taste it but me!

It's really weird.

What's even weirder... I've just happened to notice that jugs with this symbol "Ⓤ"are always fine.🤔
Sometimes its even milk from the same brand, but one jug has this symbol while the other doesn't. It's literally never the ones with the symbol that taste bad.

Does anybody know what is going on with this?

Feel free to talk about anything and everything! Milk related or not!

I’m craving milk so had like all I want is a nice huge pint of fatty creamy milk but I don’t have a car and it’s too late to go to the shop
