ICE WAX (bubble hash) with Matt Rize

[CollieMan1]

Matt...do you still run the 20 gallon bags if you were only processing a couple ounces of product? It seems like you can get a lot of ice surface area running small amounts of trim in a 20 gallon bubblexl...yet if you need to run lots of product you still can! More ice = colder = clean extract!

 

[CollieMan1]

Curious....what kind of yields can you get running a full load of super heady nuggets in a bubblexl and 20 gallon bags. ?

20 gallon bags are for the bigger loads. Agreed on your equation with the addition of: RO ice > other ice.

Good yields, I dont really keep track.

Hey Matt...great thread and amazing pics...What is the proper way to store ice wax and what do you think the storage life is?

Just same old same old. Glass jars in the dark. Hash keeps for at least 6 months before it starts to lose potency.

I have not used these bags so its hard to say. I like the monofilament screen. I am not sure about their stitching or their bag material. Bags should be double stitched and not lined.

Here is the description:

Thank you for your honesty!!! I know i probably won't use half those sizes, but they could make a nice back up if i get in a jam!! I've called the company and they seem quite proud of their product, they were very polite and seemed straight forward. I will probably buy them tonight. the bags are made of nylon and they have a waterproof coating on them. I'm not sure of the stitching, i didn't ask. the zoomed in photo appears to have two or three rows of stitching. My G/F is an awesome seamstress, I'm sure she could fix em up if needed...

Thanks again bro!!!

I use more bags now, pretty much all of them. When I first started this thread I was doing more of a commercial process.

cool!! That's good to hear. it sounds like all quality bags are good to use!! how about the screen size, are you still using the 45 and the 160? and IDK or I'm not telling you is an acceptable answer to me..... just wanna learn from the best!!

I use them all except the 25 because its a bitch to drain and the extract is not pure. If you see my ice wax at Collective Conscious Apothecary in Hopland, they are sold with the micron bag used on them. 73, 90, and 120 are the best grades. Which one is best depends on the genetics and grow. Occasionally the 45 will be the best grade. Sometimes I use a 38 instead of the 45, and sometimes I dont use the 90 if the 73 and 90 are exactly the same.

no problem, you are welcome. This thread is the #1 resource for ice water extract on the web... because everyone else keeps their techniques secret.

 

[stoneyluv]

i agree 100%!!! I petitioned a couple mods in the past to make it a sticky but had no luck!
