Can't wait to see your results and your technique Frenchy. Will you be using your bags or a screen?

I agree with that, sorry english is not my native language so i am lacking some technical vocabulary ^^ .. This batch was extremly good, i wish i still had some ! Hope to make some good one with the lemon skunk this year ! Few more weeks... i ll send some pics !
Thanks for the info concerning the sativa's, i guess i just had a strain that had very small trichs..Does anyone know about the Book "Hashish!" ? Its my bible, i study it since 5 years now ! Very good and informative book, very technical and a lot of history that make you want to leave in the past.. Pure passion nothing commercial ! And pure landrace grown in the montains tops that yield purplish tinted britlle hash..water straight from the pollution-free snow melt !

I only played with it for about a minute or two.. then I smoked the mother fucker lol

@Frenchy thanks for the kind words, happy to share... and yes the next sesh will be fun....
Hi everybody, thanks for the interest.....
My process is based on traditional Moroccan hashmaking. The big difference to waterhash is the flavor spectrum.
Making Bubble separates the trichomes by size.
One ends up with 45 73 and so on.
Traditional hashmaking lets all trichomes pass through one filter and forms a multi sized trichome hash preserving flavors usually washed out in Bubble.
If you smell your extraction water you know what gets flushed out....
If traditional hash is properly made and with good material the result can compete with any icehash.
This said, I only use 190-220 Bags to hold the Material. That replaces the Nylon fabrics used in Morocco and Lebanon.
Smaller filters and additional cleaning with a filter can be done but I'm a purist and like it traditional.
Instead I bang lightly for my first round and then use the banged material to make secondo a lighter daytime hash or just for icehash. It will still make a good bubble just less.
Here some important pointers...
Material:
Good Material properly cured, trim or nugs. Material should not be to dry or old.
Best quality hash is made with freshly dried Material properly stored in a cool place.
Material should be cool when worked with.
Environment:
Place of work should be cool. High temps and dry air is not beneficial to hashmaking.
Banging
Generally just like in the video. The plastic is stretched at all times acting like a drum.
Hitting material slightly is OK and not a problem but the main goal is to create air pressure in the material compartment.
A lot of good trichomes require some force to be dislocated from the material. Shaking alone cant do that.
With some practice one will know how often and how strong to hit to get a top result.
As mentioned in the video even very small amounts are possible and are a good way to figure out the correct banging needed. Hashmaking is a little bit like cooking, ingredients being the same for everybody, the skill is in the execution.
This method is also a quick way to test your potential Shatter or Bubble material.
Rule is: if the bang turns out good so will your shatter or bubble. We always test this way. Dry trichomes can tell a story....
Pressing
As Frenchy sais, press 2 activate and I totally agree with that statement.
Just like wine, hash needs to aerate to achieve full flavor hence we must press.
There is two forms of pressing... one is to press as hard as possible which in my opinion is good for smuggling but bad for taste. The second and the good one is applying just enough warmth and pressure to pop the trichomes and let content flow together to release the full aroma.
Wrapping good hash with cellophane like in the video and putting it in your pocket for a few minutes will do that.
For pressing I use only Cellophane because it is a natural material made from plant starch.
Unlike plastic it will keep its form when heated and will not expand or melt like plastik does.
Well, happy hashmaking....
Cheers

Beautiful post!I will try this today at work!I brought my 190 bag and a lot of trim lol. I tried it earlier but I did not cover it properly (like a drum) still made pretty kief but at least I know what I did wrong. Sadly I think my trim might be to dry now too, had it in the warehouse for the past week or two. I'll try it none the less.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, seems like im in good company But i have decided to make my own. I couldnt afford the price (with all the taxes waiting for me here).
So i bought the screens and my gf will have to show me some sewing skills hehe.
Frenchy, if you dont mind, i have a question for you. Why did you decided to go with ice water extractions? You mentioned that you can achieve the same quality with dry sifted resin, with only minor difference in quantity. The general opinion is that dry sift will have always much more terpenes and as you seems to be the terpene guy, i wonder...

I do not agree with the general opinion since no test trims for trims has ever been done, I do wonder where the general opinion is coming from.Thanks for the suggestions guys, seems like im in good company

I will most certainly check that up with Merrengue this winter.
I did not decide really to go with ice water, I just wanted to learn and see how i could adapt it to my knowledge of sieving. I do love the added potential that water bring to the table during the curing and aging process.

so I tried to make the Moroccan style hash and I must say it was a success! Very easy and great results and yield. I took pictures of the B grade but sadly none of the A grade which looked beautiful! I'll post pictures after work because I can't do it on my phone.
Frenchy, when are you going to show us your dry sift and a guide??

Very soon, I just need a little time to settle down. I can't wait, seeing Merrengue working the Morrocan technique brought back a lot of memory..........
