I press kif using my Cannabutton press and die: https://graywolfslair.com/index.php/diy-cannamed-production/9-5-formulation-and-application/9-5-5-cannabuttons
Well u have to sift it over the 150 micron screen to separate it it works great I’ve never really processed Keef or hash further I was gonna press it or leave it as isTrim bins are great to trim over.. but then what? If you end up with nice sugar leaf u still need a way to process it.. i.e. screens or bags

Can’t you substitute ethanol for isopropyl, if purity is at or above 98%?A the bottom of this post is a link in my signature for how to make “ qwiso”. Quick wash isopropyl hash is my go to for SAFE, fast, easy delicious hash with very little extra equipment. I’ve done this process for years in my kitchen and gradually refined it based off things I learned along the way and from others. If you follow the process you will get a clean cannabis extract that tastes like whatever the material was you started with.
You can definitely use ethanol, some people prefer it. It works great as long as it’s over 90%, if it’s below that it will take longer to get the water out.Can’t you substitute ethanol for isopropyl, if purity is at or above 98%?
Seems like a “cleaner” solution, though I know hard-spirits (moonshine/everclear) are not always easy to find.
Everclear is 95% grain alcohol. I've heard it's way better than ISO. I've used it a little with ABV bud, but never with fresh shit. Someday I'll try your Qwiso recipe and use Everclear. I already have some. But could get a bigger bottle for next time.You can definitely use ethanol, some people prefer it.

As far as cleaner, I don’t really think so. Isopropyl is a medical grade alcohol and is NOTHING but alcohol and water. I typically use ISO because it’s waaay cheaper, and I don’t currently have a way to reclaim the alcohol without heating the extract which I avoid. After years of playing with the process I’ve definitely found the best results when everything is done cold and when no heat is used during the evap process.

Doesn't the extract taste cleaner?I've used everclear several times. It works great, but I"ve never noticed it being "better" in any way.

personally I never felt the flavor had any significant difference. Once the alcohol was evapped it was gone and all I could taste was the extracts when I dabbed it. I wouldn’t use ISO for a tincture, unless I fully evapped it and then added ethanol back in to dissolve and set dosage.Doesn't the extract taste cleaner?
And medical grade doesn't mean it's safe to drink. Just saying.
Metal screen is razor sharp and damages trichs.Here is how I make dry sieve frames and harvest boxes: https://graywolfslair.com/index.php/15-diy-equipment/15-21-how-to-make-diy-dry-sieving-frames
Hard to imagine it’s still your preferred method, thoV
Very first time I ever made it was with a stupid friend of mine and he was light a spoon with wax all over it he was using to stir it up with for easy collection we blasted into large bowls of water on fire like as I said stupid. We were in the heart of the explosion blown me off the half wall of the camper my friend had absolutely 0 hair on his face and his plastic wind breaker pants were melted and shredded like a cartoon only time I ever had a issue with a stupid friend
For a quick cold ethanol wash, it should be continuous: you want to make sure everything is well below freezing, well before you start.can i do the freezing in intervals? or does it have to be continuous 48hours? also for the hot water can it be a jar or strictly has to be a wine bottle?
Yeah I don't let a single experience keep from doing what I like to do took a few years after that to learn again because I was scared now it as dangerous to me as crossing the streetHard to imagine it’s still your preferred method, tho
The stainless screen that I use has round wires which are not remotely sharp beyond their small diameter, and I've seen no difference between trichome damage using it or silkscreen.Metal screen is razor sharp and damages trichs.

And back to the original question, may we talk about yield?I have a lot of sugar leaves and want to use them, can make hash by crushing them up or should I just make cannabutter.
