Bubble bag help needed

[Moebius]

I want to try and make some Ice hash for the first time. Ive seen it done online so I have some idea what I need to do.

I'm going to use a mini washing machine to agitate the payload bag. What Im unsure of is what bags I will need, please help!!

I've got 7*2L kilner jars full of frozen bud.... I was thinking of buying this washing machine (pic below) it has a load capacity of 2.5kg.

1. What size of bags should I buy ? 5GALLON or 1GALLON
2. Is this a good choice of washer, its really cheap but looks ok to me.?

That washer will probably work just fine to make IWE. It looks identical to the ones I've seen sold as hash makers. I'm not sure that you need one of these for dry ice tho? Most people just agitate manually or with some sort of vibration producer I think. I have never tried this method. If you don't have water in that washer I don't think it will spin and tumble the same as when filled with ice and water.

Thanks dude, I bought the washer. Today I buy the bubble bags and work bag. LOL Hash soon come me hopes

I now need to find somewhere that sells the right size/shape bucket.

Respect bro , I spotted him. Today I bought the 8 bag 5 Gallon kit + inner bag and some massive bags of ice.

I intend to give it a go after supper.

I'll post pics tonight of my efforts.

Ahh man this is soooo cool.

OK, so I was kinda worried about spending so much money on this little hash making idea. I didnt want to waste the frozen bud I had but was beginning to regret the idea when I saw the cost of the bubble bags and washing machine etc.... I don't have a car so I even hired a car to pick up the bags.

Anyways, Just done the first run and I'm so glad I made the effort. Despite being my first run, this is within the top5 hashish Ive ever smoked (Smoking 20+years)... Seriously, no BS!

The smells coming of this stuff as it dries is mad. Its aroma evokes the atmosphere of a Moroccan Souk, the heady hashish tones are overpowering with a spicy richness Ive not smelt in a long time. The 'product' from the 45micron bag was the most by far with the best colour/consistency. The 25micron stuff is super pure but not much of it.

This stuff is special (to me at least). I intend to give some of it to my distributor to keep him sweet and to an elderly pot head I know from years back. I don't have much off this run but will probably do another 5 or 6 in the next couple of days and refine the technique.

Nice man! Hopefully i'll be making me some hash if this season goes well. Just curious, what brand and how much you paid for those bubble bags?

The bubble bags were the original 'bubble bags' as seen on the 'Matt Rize' blog/videos.

They were expensive, 210 for the 8 bag 5gallon kit.... tbh I think I may sell some of the other bags... I recommend giving it a go, its far superior to the the rubbish bud I put in and will likely be some of the best youve smoked.

Excuse me if I sound like an excited kid about my new purchase but I'm very happy. I'm actually just waking up after being knocked out through smoking a hash spliff, my heads spinning a little and I'm extremely hungry, in short, still stoned as hell.v

From my initial smoke testing, I have found that the 25micron produces a very blond hash which is EXTREMELY POTENT. The taste is lovely but not quite as nice as the 45. I imagine this will be because the 25micron catches any burst trichomes, they are super strong but not as tasty as 45.

The 45 is lovely taste and yield and colour. SUPER strong but not as quite as powerful as the 25 but will still floor most. This is my favourite bag so far.

Ive only extracted the hash from 1.5 jars. Ive already given some away, smoked some and have a enough left to last me a while. I have 6 Jars left in the freezer and its not like bud that you need to wait to cure, so I'm super happy.
