properly dried bubble hash.

Hello I just want to know how to properly dry bubble hash. I can't find the right page on the matt rize thread. Most how to bubble hash vids they dry it on cardboard is there a better way iv heard the cardboard will suck some of the good oils from the hash is this true. Can someone tell me the page of rizes thread where he tells us how to dry it properly.

First off. You need a cold environment to make it. About 60 degrees at most low rh too

For drying you want the same temps or use a wine cooler fridge to dry and store.

You want the cold temps and low humidity so the trichomes don't oxidize and absorb moisture from the air.

After collecting the patties from the bags. And wicking out some moisture. Let it sit in a dark cold environment for about 12 hours. Then place in the freezer for an hour or 2.

Then microplane (zester or fine grater) over natural parchment (on a baking sheet).

Then store / dry in a cold dark environment or wine cooler fridge for at least a week. Maybe longer. . Cedar boxes and dressers work great in cold environments to dry in too.

Then once dry, cure in a jar and store in the same environment.

Never ever expose the hash to warm and humid environments. Otherwise it oxidize and possibly cake out

What's up with letting it sit out before freezing it? To let it dry out some before freezing? I never heard of this before.

Yeah. You want a certain level of moisture. Too wet it cakes ups and gets gooey and won't microplane. And too dry it crumbles and won't microplane. Gotta find the sweet spot. It's one of the steps rize leaves out of his tutorial. Freezing the puck is another he leaves out too.

Ok so another question i have is what yield should i be getting ?
The most i have used is 7 grams and i get the smallest yields the most i get from it is like the size of a match head not worth drying out
Should i use all the bags or just like 5 ? im to scared to try a full ounce cos it think i still wont yield anything. Anybody had experience with small amounts of bud like 1/2 oz or a ounce ? Cheers

You want use all 8 bags. I keep the 73 as is. Then turn the rest into rosin.

Yield is dependent on genetics - trichome development. 10-15% return is normal. 20-25% is real good. Off 7 grams. You should at least get 0.7 total.

Personally I wait til I have at least a half pound to wash. Small amounts like yours I Just dry out and sift. Then rosin that sift.

You can either buy dry sift screens. Or get a metal bowl that your 160u bag will fit around perfectly and put the bowl inside the bag with the screen over the top. And sift the material into the bowl. And collect with a card and make into rosin.

Thanks for that hyroot it really helped.
