I make hash often so i'm not sitting on too much bud i picked (and in case i need immediate relief). I have a friend who makes moonshine, and i dont drink, but i pick them up from him in jars.
1. Take mini food processor/grinder and I put diff strains of bud in it.
2. I carefully pour all the fine ground buds into a glass jar that once cured bud (crystals on glass walls even if you can't see em)
3. I pour the moonshine in until it touches the top of the ground bud in the bottom.
4. I shake the hell out of that jar like I'm having a spastic attack. they say for under a minute but I go for like 2 minutes just to get it all. (quality of my hash has NOT gone down doing this)
5. I unscrew and pop off the top of the jar, I quickly put a coffee filter upsidedown over the glass jar opening.
6. I quickly flip the jar holding the filter under the hole tightly over a clean Glass (Pyrex) baking pan.
7. I stand there like a fool letting it drip for like 5 minutes... maybe less but seems that long or longer.
8. I quickly take the jar off not letting any bud fall in below pan.
9. I fold the corners of the filter until its wrapped so all buds are in filter.
10. I squeeze the crap out of it till all alcohol is out in and in pan with 0 leaf material.
11. I put the pan in a dark spot with good airflow to dry over 3 days.
12. I take a metal lasagna scooper and I scrape every bit of the hash off the clear glass (pyrex) pan.
13. I take that ball of hash which is moist but not wet and I put it in a little glass bowl with a top over it to dry another day
14. I take what I want from it and smoke it.
People say to heat it to rush the alcohol evaporation, but I say flame + alcohol = BAD. Why take a risk, we are pot smokers not heroin addicts. Also this was an isopropyl method but iso is not healthy, whereas moonshine is drinkable, thus i'm not afraid to smoke if anything is left over in the end condensed cannabis product.
Be safe.
