Well if you don't turn the pillow case inside out like I didm't...yes, it gets into all the folds etc, I think I have a pic of some of the stuff I got from my pillow once. Will look through my pics...it was good for sure....but bags are easier, lol.I would imajin it a bit messy wen u use a pilllow case? Does it not all get into the material?
Hey Westy, nah, should I be freezing it? Would make it hard to make worms, heheheThat looks like some nice hash from a pillow?!!! lol cool! It so happens that im looking into making some hash this time with the trimmings etc ( not just mouldy stuff like last time lol) So was thinking of investing in some bubble bags- a worthwhile investment you reckon if i can get them cheap? Or stick with homemade option? Just not using paper coffee filters like last time lol- jees that was tedious and doomed to fail lol
I have read lately that its better to freeze your shish. Gets rid of any remaining moisture and keeps it fresh
Yeah i read that- better to use fresh frozen trim than let it dry out first- less likely to get green matter in final product, or so i read kinda makes sense i guess- ill give it a go when the time comes- although when that is........ i got a Euforia thats supposed to be 7 week finish- not looking likely as its 7 weeks old todayI have read lately that its better to freeze your shish. Gets rid of any remaining moisture and keeps it fresh
I'm talking more along the lines of moisture at the molecular level, after removing as much as you can by coffee filters or paper towels and then letting it dry for a day or two, not like putting a block of mostly dried funk in the freezer. When you put a steak from the store in the freezer and then take it out at some point, it will still have some moisture in it, but not as much as it had initially. Think freeze dried coffee. And not sure why you guys do the pressing/decarbolation thing, as that breaks up all the heads that you went to all the trouble to remove. I understand that the friction created would heat the hash up, but why? Any more that I make will be strictly for myself, most of everything that I just made is commercial grade. Anyone want to trade some 1 gal bags for 5s?I don't understand how freezing anything gets rid of moisture though, HC.....if anything, unless you got it in a vacuum sealed package, any air that is in the container or whatever you put the hashish into the freeer with will just freeze the moisture in that container/package and then you got ice forming on your hash....I've heard of ice-o-later but...lol. Like when you put a bit of meat in a zip lock bag and then the meat has ice forming on it.
Would like to get more clarity on that.
Onto round two now. Done some 75micron and that has collected the most..got a nice odour to it as well.
Thankyou Mr West, already on it [FONT="]
Not sure of the exact science, but goes back to hash making in the mountains of nepal and afghanistan...try and find The Great Book of Hashish. For example, once the initial charras have been pressed into fingers, they are then put into bag and left in the sun for several hours...the writer was also unlear as to why it was done.
Anyway, just rolling up a joint of Casey Jones and BX2 Cheese 70 micron hash that I have made...can't wait. Here's a pic of the boo..
Not sure, just as I dumped the bag into the bucket I realised I said to Don that I would weight it.....well that was trim from 1 big plant, and 3 little ones (grown in 9l and 4 litre pots I think.)MMMM that looks very tasty- what a great colour- can i come over to visit? lol How much trim did ya use to get that amount, and did you do a second cycle with the green matter or just leave it at one? Aww i cant wait to get mine done now- especially as trying to obtain anything smokable at this time of year is rare to non existant Might have to resort to smoking popcorn if this weed drought continues lol
