Farmbuck I would like to know how you do yours if I may ask? I use the kief from my coffee bean grinder that's only used for grinding bud for rolling joints. I scrape the lid with a knife and just compress it within a piece of plastic wrap to the size I want for smoking in a pipe, I make little balls then store them in tubes I've got from buy doobies in the past from dispensary. What's your way?Smoke Ganja create Peace Respect Nature don't trash the Planet

Ok Guys !! It's very simple !!
1. First I use strains like Afghan & Lebanese or Nepal for my hash, it's my personal choice lolll but use the strain you like.
2. Then I let it cure for a few weeks.
3. After severals weeks of curing I put it in a freezer for a few days to freeze the hell out of the trichomes (need to separate the trichomes from the flower) I only use flowers for top quality hash well for me anyway.
4. After I use a sifter box from Ryot to collect my kief.
5. To make my hash I use very hot water (like they do in the middle east) or hot tea to make a kind of paste and I compress it by hand to remove the excess of water (rolling into a ball) after I use a parchment paper to compress (all by hand) even more to create a block of hash just like my pic.
6. Finally I let it dry for severals days before storing it in a Mason jar and once in a while I let it "burp" like we do for buds. Storage should be in a cold dry room from what an old expert told me.
They say if properly store you could keep hash for at least 10 or more years. I've got some from 5 years ago and it still potent.
Hope that give a bit of an inside to how to make hash my way.
for a sifter box here is the website : https://www.amazon.com/stores/node/1...eb_19823999011
Happy hashing guys !!

Howdy FarmBuck. Would you recommend the 4x7 or 7x7 box? Why is there a divider in the 7x7 box? Just curious. I've never used something like this before. Thanks!

Hi Mazzariman
I use the 4x7 Ryot box and thinking of getting the 7x7 for more kief. As for the divider this video will explain it's use.

Thanks much! Looks like the 7x7 will be fine.

I have ordered some bubbledude bags and am going to start with dry ice, then ice /water wash and after that probably dry shake kief.
Weighed my trim and have over 2 lbs frozen. Should be good for a start. lol
Not to mention about a dozen quarts of bud.
So many ways to make hash and store it like temple balls, bricks, compressed puks etc.
The journey begins.
Thanks for the inspiration Farmbuck.

How much kief do you have in gram or ounce ? Dieselgrower
I believe the ratio is 10 to 1. 10 grams of buds to 1 gram of hash.Last edited by Farmbuck; 01-12-2021, 05:11 PM.

i have around 14 grams of kief....ive been sampling too much
-
can I ask how hot is hot water? maybe Im doing something wrong, I tried through the coffee maker and on the stove top. It did somewhat come together but I'm not really get the consistency I see in the videos? I rolled for an hr or so and tried my vise. Its in a ball but and pressure and it just crumbles? I almost tried the wifes hair ironIf you get confused....listen to the music play

Try to use a long cylinder jar instead. I try once with a mason and I failed. enough that the kief is fully cover but not overwater. Press it a several times to remove the excess of water, roll it in your palm of your hand to make little ball. I know it's not easy at the beginning but you will find the consistency you want.Last edited by Farmbuck; 01-14-2021, 05:13 PM.

thanks for the help first off farmbuck, im starting to think its the mason jar. kief I got from my trim bin from the dried cola and trim, this is very new to me.

so I ended up sprinkling so water droplets onto and and used the hot pot of water. seemed to have worked better @ least its workable. still a little soft but im assuming itll harden over the cure. thanks for the help farmbuckIf you get confused....listen to the music play

Remember it need to dry up to be able to harden.... Dieselgrower & SoOrbudgal "harden" is that a proper word ?? Remember I'm French-Canadian lollllll
-
i may try to compress it some more if it stays soft. i do plan to cure for a 3+ weeks

Try to compress while it's still moist Dieselgrower

I use the dry ice method to separate the resin from the trim (I usually get about an 8:1 yield). Then I press the resin into pucks with a stainless sleeve press that you whack with a rubber mallet. You can stop there if you smoke with a pipe. However, I prefer to smoke using the pin and glass method and the raw pressed kief is a little too crumbly for that. So I add a little heat and pressure to my pucks with a clothing iron. I set the iron on its lowest heat setting. I wrap the pucks in parchment paper and place that inside a damp wash rag then iron with firm pressure for a few minutes. This firms the hash up so you can stick it on the pin without it breaking. Up until now I have only done this with trim. One of these days I going to try it with flower.2'X4' Nursery tent with Mars Hydro SP150 LED
