Frozen Milk - How long to keep it frozen?

[nannynick]

About 5 weeks ago I froze some milk, in ice cube tray and now have a 'Wall of Milk' wrapped in plastic in the freezer. How soon should that be used?

Milk supply in shops seems fairly stable now so I don't need to rely on that frozen milk, maybe it would good to defrost it and use and then replenish the stock.

What are your thoughts? If it makes any difference it is semi-skimmed milk.

I’d think 6 months but I’m probably wrong.

3-6 months it seems form searching Google. So no hurry to use it but may be good to rotate stock whilst milk supplies are being reliable in my local shop.

I have Nido powdered milk instead. It's full cream milk unlike Marvel or equivalent supermarket own brand.
I've made it up as needed recently if we ran low and didn't want to "pop to the shops" to get some.
Made Yorkshire puds with it last weekend.

Does anybody know where to get the milk bags that coffee shops use for hot drinks from? I've looked in Costco online and haven't found anything, I thought freezing a few of those would be good. Although they'll take up valuable freezer space, it's hard getting dried milk here.

I always try to use it up within 6 weeks as I find if you leave it much longer than a couple of months, that although it tastes 'okayish' the milk separates & seems more watery.
I use semi skimmed milk too.

I just rotate it through the freezer as I get more, so usually it's in there for less than a month.
