Hash talk

[DabberDog]

Um... Ice water hash outside? Wouldn't that make slush out of agitated ice water and ice out of agitated slush? Clog up the mesh with iced over trichomes?
What about using ice cubes for agitation but no water?
My very first and only attempt at fresh frozen was turning down the Kenmore and putting in a bubble bag of fresh trim. When things froze up, I worked the bag in the freezer. Proof of concept was there; space and larger quantities of trim were not.
Remember, city-boy mentality.

DS process?

Awesome guys,I planned on freezing the plant and doing the wash on the back porch where it's cold, remember I live in Siberia new York

Some micro shots.
Dry sift first, from the 2fast Hot Cakes trimming.
Bubble hash from my wash day. Dried 7 days about to be pressed. A blend of plants.

Just thought it was interesting to see both, so I posted it 😎

My thing would be to freeze it in a walk-in and process it in the freezer, dry/frozen sift. I worked in a -30° when I was a kid. That sort of thing. Gator has a walk-in city to work with.
But then there'd be the problem of broken leaf matter getting knocked off in the sift and having the same soggy leaf bits in the catch.
But would leaving it in a walk-in desiccate the soggy leaf bits?
Gator time for some experimenting.

You’re not wrong Dabber for those who may not know, even if Gator does.
Freeze them fresh then straight into the ice water without letting them thaw before the wash

Wish I had enough freezer for that. Next year I hope to successfully schedule my fall grow to end near Christmas so I can do some fresh frozen over the holiday break.

I ask because the speed and temperature you freeze fresh plants has a big effect on final product. If you let fresh frozen in a standard freezer thaw, you get a mess of soggy leaves. If you go that route, keep it frozen when you bag it.
Or, you know exactly what you're doing, and I should sit back and let you do your thing.

I have an upright freezer in the basement, freeze until Wednesday and make some hash

[Gator]

I'm thinking about cutting the plant down and freezing the whole thing

[DabberDog]

First, how?
Then, then what?

[Gator]

Mmmmm, fresh frozen maybe 🤔

lol yes ckbrew it was. I was very competitive growing up… well more like , i enjoyed testing myself. I had to stop at 8 hrs cuz the pool closed at the complex. It’s all about steady breathing and the technique. Some people do the bicycle, some the frog, i combined them and it was virtually effortless .I could also hold my breath for 5 mins , might have been longer but the life guard freaked out lol. Cant do that now though.

[Smallgrow]

Thx!
If I had a bit more it would heat press it and roll it into a temple ball

I like your pics. Good job. Looks like the first sift dry ice hash I make. I, too, like to use it as a bowl topper.

You want me to do math? With fractions? On dope?
A drop is 1/64 teaspoon. A tad is 1/4 teaspoon. If you carry the one, google says 16.
I don't think anyone has done the tad. That's my kief spoon.
