so I don't want to repost the pics unless you want them but is grinding the material bad when making bubble?
Hi guys wanted to post a pic of some fresh frozen. Ice/solventless hash. View attachment 3443524 View attachment 3443525
So I ran some bags tonight, and i have a nice screen full in the freezer. Should i transfer it to the fridge to dry for 12-24 hours and microplane.... or should I leave it in the freezer and microplane it when i take a chunk out one at a time and let it slightly thaw??? Also I assume leaving it in the freezer until my microplanes arrive on thursday is ok? Thanks in advance.
Also I did my runs without doing a second mix, just reloaded cold water into the mixed trim and gave it a 30 sec stir and let it settle. was able to pull 3 extra runs, the last being almost not worth it but was still a decent amount. without beating up the material a second time, i saw no loss in quality of the hash to the naked eye, even on the last rinse.
press it and make it hash.
otherwise its kief regardless of loose resin gland separation methodology
thought the point was to not press?
Pressed hash has better flavor but also require a long cure time. Microplaning is to creative a larger surface area so everything dries at the same rate.
I do pressed hash and ice wax. But I press ice wax. I prefer microplaning and sieving before pressing for the drying process. I also like to keep some in beach sand form as well.
ok right on. I used to just let the patties dry for 12-24 hour and them chop them in to 1/4" cubic chunks to get them to dry more efficiently. I like the "medicine" look it gave it. I also wouldn't cover the jar they were in for 1-2 weeks to make sure they were completely dry.
I have never done the microplane, but i like the texture that it gives (or maybe its just cause matt's grease looks so good i just wish they all would do that lol but I know its genetics that play a large role but even the ice wax texture looks fuckin awesome), and it allows the hash to dry all the way, but faster, which seems like it would be beneficial to its integrity. maybe i'll do a bit of both techniques and post some pics up. I pulled the hash from the freezer today to let it dry. have it in a cold air conditioned dark room. tomorrow i will microplane on to parchment paper and leave it in there to dry for the next couple days. Sound like a plan?
You want to freeze the patty after 12-24 hours of drying.. For about an hour or 2. You want it to be frozen when you microplane. Otherwise it will smear and not go through the grater / microplane.
If you let it dry completely without mixroplaning . You can just sieve it instead. Using a mesh ladle like the one in Rizes pics.
Also, after microplaned... i remember reading that matt dries it in a fridge for a few days so that it doesn't melt yet, it just dries. fridges are great cold slow dehydrators, so this process makes a lot of sense to me...
have you practiced this before hyroot?
Wine cooler fridge. Not regular fridge. A regular fridge has too much humidity. That's to preserve it so it won't oxidize and cake out.
shit.... will an air conditioned room work that's about 65degrees? i know that's pretty well pushing the limit...
