Waiting for it to dry is hard but not the hardest by a long shot. You have a cure in front of you as well and I will not mention aging
It could be less abrasive but at such a level that you would not see the difference. Your average restaurant/hostel ice machine makes ice cube that are roundish in shape so the difference with a ice ball would be minimal. They will most certainly retain lower temp longer on the other hand.Hello frenchy! I have wondered if the spherical ice cubes that are larger 2" would be less abrasive for the trim in the machine, as well as retain lower temps longer..... Have you any experience with these? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CBM3A8Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?qid=1377660874&sr=1-11&pi=SL75
Dr Who is bomb, let me know about your big balls experience. All the bestVery well, thank you for the quick response... I am ice cube tray shopping to make R.O cubes... i thought it might take less ice with these big balls, Less ice surface area sliding against the plant matter which i thought could reduce potential chlorophyll... I have all the materials after i purchase the trays to try your tech... I was paid for the bubble magic name (mistake) prior to reading your thread, but all is well and I am excited to run this dr.who and blue mountain kush .. Thanks for your help....
I have never put dry ice in water, so let us know.Hi Frenchy!
I really appreciate the knowledge you're sharing. I've gotten pretty decent with the ice wax method so it was an easy transition. One thing you've helped me realize is the ice is only included to get the water cold and keep it that way. I've contemplated using some dry ice, perhaps in a small mesh bag, to serve that purpose. It would require less overall (dry) ice, and produce less agitation with the plant matter. What do you all think? Peace Weed Nerds
Will do. For the sake of information, dry ice is solid carbon dioxide at almost -110 deg. F, so it skips the liquid state and it makes "smoke" bubbles, or sublimates, into an inert CO2 gas when put in water. Too much might freeze the water, but I think a smaller bit should chill it adequately.I have never put dry ice in water, so let us know.
I should clarify most preferably I was talking about dry ice pellets. Most grocers carry dry ice in blocks and I have been unable to find pellets locally. The blocks come in a plastic bag and they crush up into smaller pieces with a hammer or similar.Thats what I was thinking it might freeze the water, I would suggest using several small pieces instead of one piece that way you could even control the temp of your water by adding or subtracting one more small piece. You do have an interesting idea let us know
