Just like it says folks, can you use a coffee filter to strain the leaf out of cannabutter? Rather than cheesecloth, which you would think would be easy to find but.....Nope No one has it

I think you can find cheese cloth at just about any popular grocery store, in the same isle where they keep their pots, pans, spatulas.

I would not consider a coffee filter a suitable alternative... The fatty butter is not going to go through a coffee filter very well.

I have also heard cooking times from 45 minutes to 22 to 24 hours how long should I cook it for, Its been on 3 hours already, just wondering when all the THC or as much as possible will be absorbed by the butter?

use a stocking dude
i mean its not hars to find something to act as a filter. you want something that will catch the leaf and trim or whatever and allow the goodness thrue id expect. for this a stocking should be fine

I use one of the reusable filters. Works great.

Do you need the cure?

also a slow simmer on low overnite seems to do pretty damn well.

you want to give it plenty of time to extract the thc out (your doing the opposite of a cold hash extraction really an doin a hot extraction.)

s the longer you can do it the without burning it the better 12-24 hours too much more is just a joke

I have found 6 hours good. Very low just below any boiling.
