Default Frsot-free freezer ices up suddenly

I've frozen milk for at least 30yrs. What's the problem?


Yes I freeze milk: we sometimes buy more milk than we need for the week and
freeze it in screw-lid containers of about 300 ml, to keep some in reserve.
The main thing is to remember to take out a container of frozen milk 24 hour
before I'll need it on my breakfast cereal, to let it thaw in the fridge. It
means that if we don't manage to get out to a supermarket, there's still
milk for breakfast. Also, if we are ever going on holiday, we freeze
whatever is left: a) so it isn't wasted and b) so there's milk for breakfast
if we haven't called in to a shop to buy any on our way home from holiday.

Frozen milk turns a rather repulsive yellow colour, but that reverses when
it thaws. As with any frozen liquid, make sure you leave enough expansion
room in the container because frozen milk takes up more space than liquid
milk.
