    Default Best Strainer for Cannabutter

    I grind up my bud and make hash with a sifter box. The remnants get made into butter. My butter is killer but tastes like crap. I know its a result of finely ground bud coming through my cheesecloth which I fold over at least 2-3 times. I find ginger snaps cover the taste the best but not enough to not be considered offensive. Is there anything finer I could use for a strainer that will let all the butter through or any ideas how I can make this experience more enjoyable?

    Nooo, not unless you really need them.

    Save your money for important things like light bulbs and fertilizer!! I have a real fine food strainer..don't know what it is called besides a strainer. BUt it is not a normal strainer, it is way finer than a sifter.. used for extrusion/emulsion. Has a very fine screen, and I transfer really slow. Makes some fine butter. I think I got it at URM for 12 bux. Its a chef tool. you can pre filter with cheese cloth if you want. It has a really fine non metallic screen.

    Or use nylons, they work too. But you might feel more manley buying the strainer...

    Do you use water to make your butter? The crap should all get trapped in the water, then skim the good buttery goodness off the top after it gets solid

    No way mann .. you put it through the filter first right?.. I mean after its simmered for hours man. Then pour it through the filter and the solid leaf stays on top. The buttery fatty stuff goes thru and THEN you pull the top butter. Try it on a warm bagel. yeah baby.

    Right, that's what I meant. I was just trying to say that the water element is key to nice clean budder.

    use this to squeeze it ( potato ricer) .. over nylons.. are you using water when you make butter to leach out the chlorophyll
