Somebody say hash? Had so much sugar leaf trim and loosy goosey lower buds from the last harvest that I decided to run some ice hash. Here's how it's done; you need:
48g bud/trims
Ice
Bucket
Sifting bags
Water
The Machine
Cold beer
Spoon
The material for this run was fully dried but uncured and given a 12 hr freeze. The ice was store bought which kind of tore the material up a bit; homemade ice has much softer corners which is more gentle on the material. Of course I way got too baked again and forgot to fill the ice trays...
Welcome To The Machine....
It only does a 15 min cycle so I just spin the dial back manually to do about a 20 min wash. I normally try to do 2 separate washes; the hash from the first wash typically being the cleaner end product.
These are full mesh bags. I use the entire 7 bag set and skip none because they filter out everything I don't want. Micron sizes are:
220u
160u
120u
90u
74u
45u
25u
Here is the first wash drying on a screen. I only make 2 grades based on the color of the resin heads. The 2nd wash is greener as the water becomes saturated with chlorophyll; looked like a shamrock shake.
And finally the hash is microplaned and set to dry overnight on cardboard. From here it can be pressed into a loaf or enjoyed as is. Thanks for dropping by. Peace
