no, the 25 is usually not the cleanest, that bag catches the tiny green chlorophyll particles. i dont even use a 25 anymore because it drains so slow and makes a cooking grade hash.

freeze it asap. then use it after 24+ hours of freezing. you don't need to soak to rehydrate before extraction like you would with dry trim.

wet trim/buds produce the best product.

My vegan organic Vortex ice wax tested at 59% and 60% THC at Steep Hill Lab, on a GC and a newer device I can't mention yet.

This Og Kush is friggin amazing too, probably not as high THC. That vortex spins my head and makes it so I can't drive.

Gas Chromatograph, the device used for most lab testing, also what I specifically studied in college. The other device used commonly is HPLC, high pressure liquid chromotography, also studied that in depth. The new device is revolutionary because its small and non-destructive, meaning you can smoke the sample after analysis.
Matt,
Thank's for such a helpful thread - though i've been catching ice hash info from many sites around, I found a lot new and practical tips here. Respects.
I have one question related to curing process. Many sources and my personal talks with local guys in India, for example, say that hash has to be cured at least one year to become REAL HASH. As far as I'm only doing my first steps towards ice water hash and consider to strore my product for a while, can you advise on maximum time or oldest hash you had occasion to smoke? Was it your hash? What is the best way to store IWH let's say for one year?
In Uzbekistan (former USSR republic - now independant state near China boarder) one guy sweared to me that he used to smoke local hash stored since 1945 and it was awesome??

New forum? Cool!
That's a very interesting question! Looking forward to reading your answer(s) on that Matt!
I know that the chems (CBD/CBN/THC) in mj change w/ age and, like steak/wine/cheese etc., bud can/does become better w/ a long cure, so it seems reasonable to assume the same improvement would happen w/ hash?

Hash does not need curing to be hash, that is only for old school contaminated hash. Pure extracts can be smoked about 24 hours after being made, although they continue to cure over a couple weeks. After about 6 months the potency actually goes down as THC is converted to CBN.
Curing is generally to allow the green matter to breakdown, that applies to flower and extracts. When you have no green matter, the cure is much shorter.

Matt, How do you keep from contacting the Micro-Plane with fingertips as it crumbles??
Matt Rize

Experience and careful work. I have 1000 hours microplane experience from my kitchen career. Once you get to the end you can grate with the grain of the razors instead of against to crumble what is left without shaving your finger tips.

got my bags last night! I ordered off amazon (local shop was sold out) and to my happy surprise there were 2'identical 5 gallon 5 bag systems. I check my checking account and my amazon order and only ordered/charged for 1! BONUS!! Planning on doing a few runs in each on Tuesday. I'll post pics as I do and through the curing!
