I have my cannabutter simmering on the stove, and have 3 hours until its time to take it off and strain the plant material out.
I do not have cheesecloth!! What can I use as a proper alternative to strain the solution with, besides cheese cloth?? I was gunna use 2 layered t-shirts, coffee filters or something else along those lines. Would those alternatives work? If not what will? Thanks in advance "oh knowledgeable community"....

Yup. Go get some cheap ass panty hose from Walgreens. That's the next best thing, and what I ended up using last time.

I prefer using a synthetic cloth t-shirt. That way you can really squeeze it out. Do not use a coffee filter unless you have a few days to let it drain.

A metal kitchen strainer and a spoon maybe along with an extra cup of boiling water to wash more butter out should cut it. Good luck, bro.

Psup- you are using bud? I think that that will not be particularly strong butter but it will work fine. I use an ounce of shake for a stick of butter but I guess the shake has about 1/4 as much THC as bud so you should be fine. I would suggest that you grind it up as fine as possible and really squeeze it out when you are done.

I am using mostly bud, some leaf trim. I don't think iam going to make it 22 hours though. Probably more like 11 hours. ~P~

I personally powder the weed and cook it for 4 hours. I think that is enough.

Hahaha, I just came back because i finished already. About 4-5 hours on the stove. I can see why folks are sticking with the 4-6 hour simmer time.
I couldn't see simmerring for 12+ hours with out a lot more water than i was using for my single stick of butter and good cured bud with fresh leaf clippings. I assume the procedure works fine with the quantities called for if you keep it a low simmer.
While i have not eaten any of this pretty green butter yet, i will say that it was easy to do with a 1/4 batch and i would whip-up another 1/2 batch in the future. However, more water is required than 1/2cup for a 1/4 batch.
Perhaps I still did not have enough water in my simmering pot- the butter smelled "browned" by the end of the process.
Perhaps the butter would taste better in the end with some quality olive oil added? Perhaps just a good splash right in the beginning?
I might use a crockpot instead if I was cooking an ounce or more. ~P~
