I'm not entirely sure what you are looking for.   I ferment sauerkraut by massaging  the cabbage/veg/aromatics  with salt in a large bowl and then pack it into kilner jars.  No other equipment is required. Are you following a particular recipe?

I just buy muslin from the sewing shop, I don’t know if this would work?

Thanks both, not following any particular  recipe just to use as a filtering agent, heard a segment on the radio recently that the use for kurd & whey seperating and had a thought that some of the Xmas cheeses like Roquefort have a piece of cloth left on rather like the mince meats which have pampers some have mused to soak up the juices

Yes the cheese cloth from a fabric shop is suitable.
It needs washing, sometimes bleaching and good to go again.

I bought extra when I found it but still using the same piece I started with.

I'd save any juices and use them for the next lot. Give extra flavour.

I use muslin nappies, cheap supermarket ones. I sterilise one, by boiling it in a Pyrex jug of water in the microwave, every time just before use. I rinse them, and soak them in Oxiclean after use and wash them.
