Milk Souring Mystery!

[Admin Greg]

For the past year I haven't been able to keep milk in my fridge for more than 4-5 days. I always buy the freshest milk, not expiring for a couple weeks from purchase. However, the milk sours in my fridge in 4-5 days no matter what brand or size of milk. After 4-5 days the top of the milk is filmy and smelly. Even more drastic I bought two 12oz bottles of milk yesterday. I drank one last night and it was fine, but I went to drink the second this morning and it was rank, I poured it down the drain and it was chunky. My fridge cold level is 7 out of 10. 10 being coldest. I have no problem keeping any other foods for a long time and everything feels cold to the touch. Anyone have ideas why I can't keep milk for long, it's sooooo annoying!

Where do you keep it? If you keep it in the door, it will go bad faster. What you might want to do is put a probe thermometer in the milk and close the fridge door. Set the temperature alert to go off when it hits 39 degrees.

I have tried different placements and none work. Good idea on the thermometer, I will goto radioshack!

Probably want to hit a Bed Bath and Beyond, Target or other similar store to find a refrigerator thermometer.

Good luck solving the mystery. Chunky milk is so incredibly disgusting.

Does your mom have one of our old probe thermometers?

(I do - NIB)

Beth - I might need that thermometer if I can't get info on someone who said they bought it as a host almost 2 years ago (not my host, originally).

I just checked and it's on the outlet (Greg & Kate!). It's $23.50 (plus $6.75 shipping and tax) OR you can get it on CC (Greg, maybe your mom will order it for you) for $20 + $4 shipping plus tax - of course, if you buy it on CC it's not commissionable...

I would need $26 plus shipping to you to cover my out of pocket costs so it'll save you a few bucks to get it on the outlet.



Greg: my website is /bbrigham if you want to buy it from me. :p

Hi Greg!

Inquiring minds want to know, did you find out anything about the souring milk?
