- Butter is made twice each week in summer once a week in winter.
My uncle James Brennan churns. Strangers who come in while churning help at the work. They say "I may as well leave the weight of myself on the churn". The churning takes an hour or half an hour.
Churning is done by hand. The churn-dash is moved upwards and downwards.
