Im making feremented foods but need a fine filter, Im not a panty hose works but a cheese cloth is better and best is a strainer cloth about 150micro, will Mitre 10 have either of the cheese cloth or strainer cloth?

Muslin doubled over is often used. You can buy 2 layer muslin wraps for babies in baby shops. Otherwise just a cotton pillowcase works fine. I’ve strained yoghurt in one I keep for this and then tie it closed with string and hang it over the tap in the laundry tub and let it drip. Works perfectly.

Cheesecloth comes in different grades and weights. Muslin is a finer version of cheesecloth, so what you need may depend on usage.

One might want to try a kitchen tools supplier. They’d also probably have a 150 mesh strainer as well.

Have you tried the obvious retailers like Spotlight? (Sale prices may well end tonight, I think, but they do click and collect by the look of it.)

If you search for micron mesh mono fabric nz there are suppliers of bags, fabric etc listed, monofilament / synthetic and probably available in 150 micron - or close.

Many, perhaps most, NZ home brew shops also sell cheese-making supplies.

Hauraki Homebrew certainly do and they also ship by post.
