So I have 20g of kief. I don't smoke it because I like the flavor of a good smelling/tasting bud. I have a couple questions.
1. My kief is a dry powder. i've heard of people making what they call "cakes," or "yellow straw." The kief is a little moist, almost gelatinous. They do this by dissolving the trim into a solvent and evaporating the solvent. The left over product is a lot different than the stuff that passes into my kief screen. Since I have dry kief powder I shouldn't have to do anything else to it right? Aside from maybe compressing it into pellets.
2. The most important question. Can I add kief back to the bud? I thought about maybe putting it in a bag with bud and shaking it (shake & bake). My purpose is to enhance the strength of my existing buds. I know a lot of it will fall right off the bud. Has anyone come across a method to incorporate kief back into the bud? I thought maybe misting the bud with a mild sugar water so the kief will stick. I plan to experiment with this to see if it effects the flavor negatively but if someone has come across a method please let me know.
3. Lastly, do people typically buy kief? I only ask because there may be a fear that someone cuts it so it may not have a great market.
Polite, pertinent comments are appreciated. Thank you.
