Clabber

1. Clabber is a food produced by allowing unpasteurized milk to turn sour at a specific humidity and temperature. Over time, the milk thickens or curdles into a yogurt-like substance with a strong, sour flavor.
   
   
   This is the description of clabber on wikipedia. We have read that it is a good way to feed chickens, and even dogs, cows milk so that they can digest it well. As it is solid, it makes it easier to feed it to the chickens than milk too.
   The first milk I left out with the hope of it clabbering turned fizzy and didn't go solid. The chickens still loved it after I had soaked their grain in it to make it possible to feed it to them.
   For the next attempt I stirred some of the fizzy milk in to it as I have read that you can get clabber going well by stirring failed attempts in to new milk...
   This did go solid although it didn't smell as nice as some reading suggests clabber can, I certainly didn't fancy tasting it. The chickens went mad for it though. 
   
   
   I have mixed some of that in to more milk and set it off again. Apparently eventually it should just turn solid and taste sour but nice, then you can make cheese from it and all sorts...
