Does this 2500g container make 5.49 gallons of milk? Once opened, how soon would I need to use it up?

We use this powder solely for tea. I am sorry, cant answer the first question. Never made any milk. But I am sure, it depends how thick you like your milk. We leave our can in the fridge. This big container once opened keeps fresh for over 6 mnths in fridge. My husband and I use about 2 tps for each cup of tea. So it lasts longer...definitely does not spoil if refrigerated. Hope I answered your question....glad to be of help.

Like the others, I can't answer the first question. We opened our last can over a year ago and it is still good to drink when we mix it with water. I think the expiration date and the usage after opening as the company lists it is very conservative. It holds for much longer than they say it will.

well I never made it by the gallon, but it says 3 heaped tablespoons is one serving and that makes a cup of yummy milk.there are 104 servings per 2500 gram can. so 104 cups = approx 6 gallons. milk is yummy so can has never lasted that long, but it has a sell by and expire date of about 2yrs if tightly sealed.hope this helps you

I've not checked quantity. I've had it for over a year and still using it. Depends on how often and how much you use. I'm using it according my needs

For what it's worth, I never counted- I used it in my tea. It seemed to last a very long time- months- I'd grab maybe 2cups worth of dry, shut the lid, then put the 2 cups in the fridge for continual opening and left the can also in the fridge, but not stirred up or opened constantly to keep it fresher longer. I'm pretty sure I got some good mileage out if it (joke), I use a normal gallon in 2 wks and it sure lasted longer than 3 months- it's so creamy tasting maybe I used less than normally would- very creamy tasting. Hope that helps a BIT... Wish my lactose- free were that good!!! Reminded me if Devonshire clotted cream. I don't work for this company nor know anyone who does. Just being honest..!!!

Personally, I believe that it is a misprint. The container is 2.5 lb. (2 lb. 8 Oz.) of powdered malted milk. If the container held 2.5 gallons, it would be huge and most certainly weigh more than 2.5 lb. I was most happy with my purchase (which is long gone) & will shortly more. I don't know why the local supermarkets don't have it !!!! -Marie

A lot. I put 2 gallons of milk and pile on the other cold stuff to the top.

There is one that is gasoline rated, but I don't understand the "5-gallon container" part of the question.

Hi -- I think the container hold maybe a gallon-and -a-half -- maybe two gallons. I really like it. I keep it in the refrigerator so that there is no odor and so that it does not attract insects.

It could take from 15 to 30 minutes to pull 5 gallons out....the unit is best for relatively small amounts (i.e. one or two gallons).......hope this helps (PS I use it to empty the tank on my jet ski)...very best regards,Don

I use mine to make cheese, and so I know it holds four gallons of milk, with room (not much) to spare.

Ruthie, I keep mine in a 1 gal jug. I am not sure it will all fit into one 5.5 qt.

We pump out of 55 gallon drums to 5 gallon and work is needed. Maybe once it gets started 15-20 pumps to fill up a 5 gallon quicker. It has really good suction though.

The 1 pound container is the smallest size that Minor's makes available. You can use as little or as much as you need and refrigerate the the rest. When refrigerated, the bases will last well over a year. So, even though you feel that 5 gallons is a large quantity, you will probably use that much over a year's period. Hope this helps.

it should hold 5 full gallons, but if you put 5 full gallons in it you won't have room to stir.... I would recommend using for no more than 4 gallons... maybe 4.5

right now we just had try, almost half of the container and it can take around 5 bottle of water, not sure if this can respond your question.

You can , but the water pressure very strong to fill up a cup but then it goes down after 1/2 a gallon so it will just gonna take longer to fill a 5 gallon container.

You will end up with about 80/85% of your starting volume be it 1 gal. 5 gal. Or 10. Just know the more gallons you start with the the longer it will take to get to temp my 1st try at 10 gal. On hot plate took 3 hrs to get to temp

5 gallon plastic jug works fine. I would keep it on the counter and throw the stand away if I had young children

I recommend using about 1/2 ounce...which is a slight bit more than required. Doubling the dosage does not seem to show results sufficient to justify the practice.We often load several 6 gal containers, if the gas price is down a bit, and store them for a while...finally using them when the current price is sufficiently higher. I put less than 1/2 ounce in each. The gas is ready to go, even after a couple of months!

I agree with Bradley. I was able to pump out 2 gallons from a scooter in around 2 minutes. I figure it would take 5-6 minutes of steady pumping to do 5 gallons. It's a good little pump. If it took Don 15-30 to pump 5 gallons, then his pump may be broken.
