Looking for something else I came across, butyrometers (for Gerber method fat analysis) and babcock and paley bottles. I am having troube figuring out what it requires to test milk fat with these. Do you need a centrifuge? I am looking for a cheap way to find out the fat of our jersey milk from time to time.
Any tips?
Try here, from our local lab.

Thank you!
So if I am reading that site correctly, what it is telling me is that "No! There is absolutely no simple and cheap way to find out the fat content of milk in your own home." Right?
Oh well, maybe some day I will send it to a lab.
