Unexplainable · Sean tries raw milk · 15 Jun 2026 podcast

Grains and distilling became really big in the 1920s, right?

So all the distilleries were in the city and they were bringing in weed in and barley and oats and everything and doing all the distilling process.

And they had all these leftover grains and didn't know what to do with them.

And they said, well, let's feed it to cows.

All the dairy farms are out in the country.

Why are we shipping everything in?

Why don't we just bring the dairy in?

into the city next to the distillery, and we'll just go from one building to the next and give it to them.

Well, the problem was, one, no nutritional value left in the grains that the cows were eating.

The cows were kept indoors, which is ripe for sanitation issues.

Also in that era, there was no closed systems.

There was poor refrigeration as well.

And over time, now,

Our milk, we like to see it around 36 degrees.

And then we have a closed milking system, right?

So the milk never actually touches the air until it's getting bottled or you open the cap for the first time.

So listeria is a groundwater issue.

And we get tested very, well, the health department comes out once a year and tests our groundwater.

So that gets tested on a periodic basis.

And then the biggest concern that people have with raw milk is E. coli.
