comment What is 100% juice?
@Thecrocodilehunter, if you look closely at Florida's Natural OJ (even in that picture you linked), it says 100% pure Florida orange juice. You can check the ingredients if you're not sure and the only ingredient should be "orange juice". Be careful with some OJs these days though, I accidentally bought one that was 50/50 OJ/water with stevia mixed in. Read labels if you're not sure what's inside.

comment Is it possible to make soymilk without a “beany” taste?
I have used pretty much that exact method and could absolutely taste a beany taste not present in store bought soymilk. It didn't even taste remotely close.

comment Fridge temperature
I'm not sure how much this effects it but are you opening the door often to check the temperature? I used to have one of those indoor/outdoor thermometers and used it to check my fridge because then I didn't have to open the door and disturb the measurement.
